Bought 7.1 Pro last Friday, & did a fresh install. In general, it went smooth as silk. Yast2 even configured my GDI printer! (for those who don't know, GDI supposedly means it is a "Windows-only" printer; but what it really is, is an acronym for "G_ _ D_ _ _ ed Inconvenient" printer :-) ). My HP 710c printed, IN COLOR, right out of the box! I used to have to spend hours trying to get printing to work right - GREAT JOB SuSE!!! Of course, not everything went well........like, after the installation I could not boot. Kept getting a kernel panic (all stock kernels), so I sent support an email. I fixed it, so I need to follow up w/ support. (It should not have happened). Simple problem - in KDE2 I created an icon on my desktop for xterm, but when I chose an actual icon for it, the picture doesn't appear on the desktop - just a question mark. It let me choose the icon out of the icons directory, why won't it appear on the desktop? I think this has appeared in the list before, but I'm too lazy to look for it.........:-) Haven't gotten the modem to work yet - I'm getting the old "modem is busy" message. Been there, done that...... I just have to remember how to fix it. Enough rambling............overall a great job on 7.1!
