ALSO the title of your post suggests that "so many people are having trouble with 9.1"....
Where did you get that impression? Why would you come to a help forum for SuSE and assume everyone is having problems with suse?
Morning John -
Well, one normally goes to see the physican when they are ill, don't they? Likewise, most folks, at least from what I'm reading, come to the SuSE help forum to get help. Sure, there are lots of folks who also participate to help, but the majority of original posts are about some kind of problem. Yes? Thus his assumption. From our experience, our office group, he is correct; not a single 9.1 install that is fully functional, especialy in the area of USB.
dave ;-)
My point is that to assume some product is problematic based posts in the primary source for help is precisely NOT VALID.
It should be painfully obvious that those NOT having problems don't post here.
No USB issuse in my install of 9.1
Couldn't agree more. There is plenty of folks out there just enjoying there 9.1 setup. I'm one of them ;) Coming from Mandrake I wanted to try YAST and decided to give a go at SuSE 9.1 for the next 6 months or so.
Dell Dimension 4100 - P3 933MHz - 512Mb PC133 RAM - 2 HDs (master=120Gb Seagate / slave=80Gb Western Digital) <---* - 2 DVD-RW (master=Pioneer 107D / slave=Pioneer 106D) <---*
[rest pruned] Not too long ago I had a small discussion in this forum about having 2 HDs on the same IDE controller and having DVE/CDROM and burner on the other IDE controller. My contention - and what I practice - is to have the HDs are the Masters on the separate controllers and the CDROM etc devices as Slaves on the IDE cables. For example, I have- Seagate HD hda Pioneer DVD hdb Seagate HD hdc Pioneer DVD burner hdd The rationale behind this is that it is not possible to read and write simultaneously on the same IDE Controller and to get better speed performance between HD - HD or DVD - DVDRW put them in a configuration like I have. A number of people didn't quite agree with me and were suggesting doing what you have done. A few days ago a friend of mine - who also has a similar setup to yours, BTW - tried to install the latest version of Nero 6 on his Windows XP system. Nero kept coming up with the warning message that having the DVD and the burner on the same IDE Controller will cause read and write problems. The warning went away when he reconfigured his system to be the same as mine. Cheers. -- I am not young enough to know everything.
