question: did you do a "clean install" ? ( sorry if you said somewhere, I didn't find it) Most, tho not all that had trouble w/ 8.0 install ( especially when it first came out ) installed OVer a prior release... Suse said at that time that it was trying to move towards the standard locations for things that some group ( to which they belong) has set for all Distros to come into complience w/. When they all get it finished ( and Suse didn't move everything all at once, or you surely would have had a system installed that didn't work at all ... ) THey have been moving items to new locations over the past several releases.. Clean install , w/ your data restored after install , seems to be just fine...
Yes, it is a clean isntalation !
Yast2 works rather well, but it *IS* different than the earlier versions of yast and yast2.... it has most of the functionality of both of those tools, and I'm told that when run from a shell it's pretty fast as well.
**If Suse don't release a "Suse 7.4" with kernel 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 or a **Suse 8.1 WITH Yast1 or MUCH MUCH more fast and friendly **Yast 2 I will stay away from Suse until now !! ( and my clients too !! )
I'm sure that will make them very sad.... but I suspect any distro you go to is going to have some sticky points, at leastuntil they each get all the items in the same agreed upon locations. On the really good side, that *Should* make it posible for programmers to spend time creating their application rather than trying to figure out what will have to be added to the package for it to install/run on ____ (name your distro. )
Exatly, any distro !! But I'm been using Suse JUST because Suse WAS NOT any distro ! If they became just ANY DISTRO I'm use any distro, not Suse ! Fábio Rabelo
