Yepp, something is fishy about SuSE 8.0 and using kernel 2.4.17.
Hmmm... I could say something like that about RedHat, but that was in the past. Fact is I don't know RH 7.3, so I don't know how it smells ;-)
It still smells, the really suck on rpm dependencies.
Try apt-get. Is realy great! http://apt4rpm.sf.net/ and http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ 1. Install ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/apt4rpm/suse/extra/7.3/{,lib}apt-0.3.19*.rpm 2. Copy ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.0-i386/examples/sources.list.FTP -> /etc/apt/sources.list 3. Better remove ximian from sources.list before usage! 4. Ready to use.
I really can't understand why RH is so popular...
I would say dump the reiserfs....(RH 7.3 is using ext3).
Nah, just put the reiserfs module in an initrd. I use it that way without a problem. All my Linux partitions are reiserfs.
Gentoo does not recomend using reiserfs...(http://gentoo.org/doc/build.html)
Oops. BTW, strange, I believe reiserfs was there before xfs and ext3. I did have a problem though shortly after incorporation in the 2.4 kernel, and changed everything to ext2. Then I got tired of the looooong checks at booting. And if I'm not mistaken, the whole 2.4 kernel is still not marked as stable.
