Hi BandiPat,
this report is a very verbose duplicate of bug 173291:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=173291
Reporting it here on this mailing list doesn't make anything better. Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely annoying and bad bug and I expericenced it myself - it almost prevented me from installing 10.1 at all - but it is known and fixed. Unfortunately it was discovered too late for 10.1, that's why you are experiencing these problems.
Just in case you are still interested in installing 10.1, you can try it this way: [...] Good luck if you want to try this workaround, and I hope it helps a little bit,

Thanks Andreas, I did managed to get it installed, as I mentioned in my original email, but not without a bit of frustration and disappointment in 10.1. You say there is a fix, but how is that going to help a new user I've passed a copy of 10.1 on CD too? When will the fix be released? Will it be a security/bug update or? As many have mentioned already, these things don't do much for the integrity of SUSE as a seasoned Linux product and unless they sent us all a new copy of the "fixed" CDs and DVD, it serves very little purpose to new installers trying to install SUSE. Bottom line is that somebody dropped the ball. This is not a good release for SUSE. Would have been better for them to listen to the yells about when it will come out then release such poor stuff too early. regards, Lee --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
