Well, I am going to reply to my own email: I've got the system installed. It was a little tricky, and slow. I guess a P166 just is not up to SuSE8.0. I've got another machine to try with it, but I've got some work to do on it first. No sound, even tho it's a Creative AWE 32. I'll play with that tomorrow. This machine is just too doggoned slow to deal with this system. Win 98 flies in comparison. Sorry, but it's true. --doug
Well, at least I am not alone, altho the problems are a little bit different. I have an all scsi system, from about 1995, a 166 Pentium with a 2924 Adaptec card, and when I try to install SuSE 8.0, I get to the point where it asks for "another" module disk, I put the module 2 disk in and it hangs. This system will not boot from a CD, AFAIK. There is no provision in the BIOS to do so, and there are no upgrades to the BIOS available. SuSE 7.1 installed with no problem.
Does anybody know if you can use the 7.1 install disk(s) to install 8.0?
