I recently purchased SuSE Linux Pro 9.1.
As usual I copied the DVD to my NFS server so that I can do local minimal installs using CD1 and then once up and running machines can have extra packages installed via NFS as required.
However, I find that the DVD bundled with 9.1 is RC1 whereas the CDs are RC2.
This means loads of conflicts if one tries to install anything from the DVD (or network copy thereof) on a machine that was originally installed via CDROM (and vice versa)!
The only fix I can see is to copy each CD to my NFS server and throw the DVD in the bin!

Which specific packages did you find to be different (no, not expecting you to name all, just a couple that stand out...)? I wonder if this explains the fact that some users are having problems after an automatic (YOU) kernel upgrade, and others arent. Initially it looked like the problems were centered on hard-drives of a certain size (4-10gig), but that size also is consistant with machines having no DVD drives (due to their cost when said machines were manufactured). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
