Yes, sometimes I have to post a question 2 or 3 times before I get a reply. Look at it this way. I get a minimum of ~100 email from this list, put that together with between 15-20 newletters and other posts and it adds up. Some days I get over 250 emails in my inbox, tie that in with the ones I haven't read from the day before and on and on - It gets to the point where things get buried. I used to get frustrated and angry. I have learned to re-post if I don't get a response in a couple of days. I often change the subject a little (try to be either more accurate or simplify it to get the idea across). After you've used the list people get to know you and you begin to build a relationship. Please keep in mind that this is a "users" list. It is not an official SuSE support site. SuSE maintains the server for it's users. If you have recently install SuSE and are still within the support period give them a try - this will also take a couple of days but generally pays off. My friend could boot from onboard UDMA66 controller - SuSE mailed him back the answer and bingo - solved. Now mine works also. Just be patient and keep trying - it will pay off. Cheers.

Post your question(s) again, personally, I don't recall actually seeing it, not to say it wasn't there. I probably blew right by it. Either that or the questions might not have made sense or didn't jar something in someones mind when they read it. I can recall a few times I've posted a question and never received a response, after a week or two I reposted but worded it differently and received about five responses to it. :)
