2) 3) No pbm here Ditto
okay, I am now officially and idiot and would put on me dunce cap if that damned Gnome would bring it back and wear something else on 'is travels... WTflock is pbm? To me it means Polarbar mailer, and that is obviously not what you are talking about. Re: the home/personal version, it seems they might have drpped the ball w/ that one. My kid is on her 4th or 5th version of Suse... but so far at least hasn't been able to get her 9.1 home version up and running. OF course it hasn't helped they got their modem ( at least the modem) wacked by a lightning strike nearby... But before that happened we had one of those 4 hr phone calls, asking well, can you find/install find-locate, for instance, or other things that had been part of the home versions. her reason for prefering to install that, it doesn't ask her so many questions on the install... I'm taking my pro cds when I go visiting soon.. attempting to show the pro install isn't all that scarey any more. But the real killer for her was that lack of Evolution, her prefered email program.... So I suspect I'll be suplimenting her cd's w/ at least some of the pro version ones. It's surprising they seem to have dropped the ball there... But I installed a copy of teh home/personal version on a box here to see if I could figure out what the problems are... and mainly they are a lack of programs , expected... Maybe I can find a box of 9.0 personal? Someone must have one for sale... It seems much more a lack of expected elements than complete non function, well barring the dialup which will have to wait til a new modem appears. I had hoped the winmodem might have been a lucent... but it wasnt, so no help from that quarter. OTH I have had almost no problems w/ the pro install, and will put it on my husbands box this week end. Which worries me only a little, his is an emachine.. but it seems happy w/ 9.0 pro. but since the new kernal really does help a lot of things we will jump him to 9.1 . He doesn't upgrade each time, about every three on average. But he has been a bit envious of this one... Biggest PITA in all new installs/upgrades is backups... backup everything, even if you don't have any idea why you are backing it up... do it on rewritables if you are convinced you wont need the files for anything. At least if worst happens, you are back where you left off in an afternoon.. Always excepting any strange , weird or excentric hardware... -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit it's just an afterthought; okay ? : Enter any 11-digit prime number to continue...
