now xorg.conf is completely desapearing, so what can we do in case of problem.
Sorry for bringing this up slightly off topic but this is not true: You can still have an xorg.conf if you need to (in case you have strange hardware or need to guarantee that a certain mode appears). The file is just optional. If you really need one you can use SaX2 as long as it exists or you can generate one by hand: 'Xorg -configure' still works and will generate you a file you can use as a base. This file may not always be correct but you can use it as a base to modify it to your needs with an editor. This is not what you want to let your grandma do but I just mention it here as a way the power user can create a config for .special needs'.
An experienced Linux user (as I am, being SuSE from more than 10 years now), unable to make a box work in front of a new user is a very bad advertisement.
so we should have a "migration white note", describing what the old tools did that is no more usefull and what can be done now
and this is better done with a simple script with the old tool name displaying this doc *inside the new distro*, because this come often when one have no network.
Yes, I agree. There are a lot of useful things which can be done to make life easier when migrating to new technologies. But who do you ask to do this? The few people at Novell still left to do openSUSE? There is only so much those people can do. If people feel that this is badly needed there is nothing that stops them from stepping up and doing it. It's the beauty of free software that you can do it and openSUSE is completely open so you can do it in there. Cheers, Egbert. -- Egbert Eich (Res. & Dev.)
