repitition.
My advice...(as a systems admin for 12 years, and
a *nix user for 24 years now)....
1. WRITE DOWN A PLAN on some paper, with full details
of EXACTLY what you are going to do. Number this
plan "#1"
2. Go do something else for a 1 to 3 hours. If you
get an idea... write it on a Post-It note and
attach it to the plan you
3. Look at your plan again...
3a If there were any notes from step #2...re-write
the plan with your reminder notes put into the
plan and go back to step 2. Number the revised
plan "#2", "#3", etc. as appropriate.
KEEP your previous plans.
3b If there were no notes from step #2 go do
something for 1-2 hours again.
4. At the end of the day, go home and get some sleep.
5. In the morning, review the latest version of
your plan one last time
6. Put your plan into action.

Since it seems not to be able to read from SuSE DVD
installation kit any more, how can I install from the
network ?
Maybe my current installation, enriched/spoilt by the
many on-line updates, is preventing CrossOver from
working on his own as I have unistalled wine.
Please, refresh my mind about avoiding
reformatting/covering the /home partition ... although
I have bckups ... It's a lot of work to get R and JGR
etc ... working again.
Should I re-enable he on-line updates from the
repositories ? If the answer is "YES" than which
repositories are SAFE ?
I would restart from a clean installation anyway.
God knows how many patches have been added in the
meantime ...
