Hi Anna,
In order to be of more help, I believe everyone will need a bit more
information from you please.  Things like your hardware setup, ram,
hard drive, mobo chipset, if possible.  How old is the equipment, what
external peripherials are connected, etc.  All these things will
possibly help someone in determining what you need to do to install
SuSE successfully.

You say it installed, but as Brad pointed out, can you even boot to init
3?  It's not sounding like a good install or that you connected some
faulty piece of hardware later?

A little more info would help!  Oh, I don't believe being Swedish is
synonymous with bad english.  Many have trouble, from time to
time.  ;o)

regards,
Lee


lets see..
i have got some help from another mailinglist but it did not work out.
