If you have experienced installation problems with our 9.2 DVD, then download this CD and boot from it. It will ask you then for "CD1", and just insert the DVD at that point. During installation it will load packages from CD1 several times...

This PatchCD has two advantages:

* Installation with a new kernel. If you had problems installing with the DVD, please try it this way.

Yes, it solves the problem that we have on 64-bit systems with SATA hard disks. The installation kernel from the original DVD fails to detect SATA hard disks under some circumstances, but the patch CD does the job well.

Are there any objections if I burn those CDs and send them to our customers that are experiencing problems? Or do they have to get their own image and burn it?

...

* All the updated packages are installed directly.

This is only half an adavantage. I tried the installation last week and if I select a bit of more software packages during installation, then I have to change between the patch CD and the DVD1 quite often. :-)

...

Hope this helps,

Yes, it does. Thanks for the good job.

Regards Rainer

FSC and SUSE are looking at this right now. The PatchCD does not solve the problem:-( - but solved a number of other issues.

Rainer or myself will send an update once we solved it,

Any progress on this V810 problem? Thanks in advance, Gottfried Necker

Andreas or someone, please help me with this issue. I have been on travel and missed this thread. Have downloaded the image. Have an AMD-64 machine ready for install when I return home this weekend. What am I supposed to do with this? I also have an AMD-64 machine working and updated. Does something need to be done here, or has YOU taken care of the issue. Sorry to be late on this. Any assistance would be gratefully received. melissa At 07:16 AM 2/18/2005, Andreas Jaeger wrote:

Yes, it will, they have the same issues,

There are archives for this list.

With all due respect, after Novell reorganised your web pages the archives have been an absolute pain to locate. No sitemap and a convoluted javascripted navigation path which I, at least, find anything but intuitive.

You can also download the CD and start "PatchCD" in YaST to only install the updated packages.

Note the packages and the kernel are from before Christmas, so we have some more updates out since then...

[/QUOTE] Basically use this CD if you can not install off the DVD as some have not been able to. I was not able to as well but if you disable USB and change a few memory settings in the BIOS you can then install. Try the DVD. If it does not work then get the CD.

I would recommend looking at Libranet or Ubuntu. They both have 64-bit versions available. Libranet is especially easy to administer. You would need to download the Libranet 2.81 cd. If you have SATA they have a special iso to start the install. Both Libranet and Ubuntu are debian based, so upgrades and package installs are painless. Ubuntu will even mail you free cd's (32-bit version) if you go to their web site, or download and burn the 64-bit install or the 64-bit live cd. look at Libranet version 2.81 or Ubuntu 4.10. Newer versions of each are in beta. NLD is still a little too bleeding edge for Grandma. It looks like it will be a great no-nonsense distro for the business desktop when it gets a little more polish On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 08:30:49 -0500 melissad wrote:

I have two questions, if anyone can assist, on Novell Linux Desktop (NLD). Am weary of fixing my mother-in-law's Windows machine.

1. is NLD 64-bit? not that she has a 64-bit computer, but would like to set up an emulator here.

2. Will NLD, on install, allow the Windows she has to stay on the drive, the way SuSE 9.2 does (with GRUB allowing dual boot), or does NLD simply replace the installed Microscheiss software?

If there is another list to which I need to address this, pls send. I have read the documentation on line and find answer to neither question.
