Here I am replying tyo my own email: I've got the system installed, with some difficulty. So far, no sound, even tho I have a "standard" Creative AWE 32. Yast can't find it. The P166 is way too slow. I have an Athlon that I will put the system on, but I am disappointed. Also, could not get rid of the ugly green background screen, even tho went to preferences and selected "gradient" color and 2 shades of blue. Nothing happened. Now let's see if I can send mail.The setup is not obvious.
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?
