Patrick, be very carefull. I blindly went through the download, compile and install routine and when done my system was all screwed up. I kept getting error messages that I had the wrong libc.so.6. No amount of uninstall and reinstall of the original would help. I ended up having to reinstall 8.1 to get back to normal. Not fun but an easy task that only takes a few hours of your time. Up until I installed the 2.3 thing I had had no problem compiling and installing stuff.
So be careful. make notes and if something screws up you 'may' be able to recover.
If you are successful please let me know how you did it. Richard
-------------------------------- Ok, well, that's enough to keep me right where I am at for the moment then! Thanks Richard for your warnings and sorry you had to go thru that experience so the rest of us would know to leave well enough alone, until SuSE makes this available to us.
