I've just replaced Red Hat 7.0 with SuSE PRO 7.3 and ... I regret having done that !!! Why ??? 1. The installation procedure could not recognize the Modem (a simple 3Com DELL modem) 2. I tried to mount both the zip drive and the floppy drive and neither one was mounted.... No way !! I just cannot find them in the /dev directory Actually the installation procedure did not prompt for any of these peripherals 3. I tried to print (lp, lpr, print ...) to an EPSON C60 ... just forget it !!! 4. By switching from Red Hat to SuSE I lost the "cut & paste" mouse capability as well ... I followed the web posted instructions to get some help at installing the Modem and generated the "/tmp/info.txt" file. But how can I send them the file given that my SuSE system is cut off the rest of the word ??? (no output ... see above) I can just ship them the hard disk containing the requested info file .... I apologize for giving vent to my frustration ... Maura E.M.
