I did not upgrade from my 9.0 but did a clean install instead. It's the first time that cd burning really worked out of the box, without needing to play with scsi emulation. Apparently cdrecord uses plain ide now, which is much simpler (dvdr/cdrom = /dev/hdc , dvd/cdwriter= /dev/hdd). Supermount is also a whole lot more reliable since I don't get that CD-stuck-inside-problem that I regularly got, even if I closed the file manager before unmounting.
'Never had that, but knew others who did. :) Also, which is NICE, supermount also works for floppy, SC card readers, etc. I've always had to unmount and remount cards in my reader which is a pain. VERY good improvement.
My SuSE 9.0 install installed cdrom/dvd as /dev/hdc and dvdrecorder/cdrecorder as /dev/sr0. I found out scsi emulmation on both reader and writer improved things for burning with dao.
Yes.......but 9.1 is just a quick without the SCSI emulation.
Now I guess that if you upgrade instead of doing a clean install, maybe yast gets confused about what to do, since you have a bit of both worlds.
I got around it. :) I have to agree that 9.1 MAY, read that MAY be a tad slower than 9.0, but other than that, some very welcome improvements, including those in KDE. Fred -- "The only secure Microsoft software is what's still shrink-wrapped in their warehouse..." (Forno)
