Unfortunately, when I try to get more information -- from the System Settings Handbook, for example -- I am told that

This may be a result of my incomplete installation. The installer failed to build the little ifcfg-eth0-id in /etc/sysconfig/ network, and, as a result, had no access to the internet repositories where susehelp no doubt resides.
So.. let me see if I understand here.... you've got a *broken*, incomplete install. You have not upgraded to KDE 4.4 or at least 4.3.5... and you're continuing to fight a broken install?... and you're having major issues... which all could very likely be linked back to a failed broken install? Why in the world are you continuing on this path? If the install failed... logic dictates that you would re-install.

I've asked for advice on the re-install, and so far, I have received none. The only messages that seem to get attention are KDE 4 impression messages. Complaining about KDE 4 is probably a lot easier than solving real problems! A simple re-install would fail for the same reason that the original install failed: the 11.2 install forgets to build the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0-id file for my nVidia MCP61, and thus has no internet access and no ability to read the repositories. The amazing thing is that other distros have the same problem! To get internet access, I had to build the file manually. That happened only yesterday, and already you want me to upgrade to KDE 4.4! I will do it, but give me time. Shouldn't I try to complete the current install, before upgrading? What is the best way to do that? I wonder now whether I am posting in the right area. I see now that opensuse has a forum, in addition to this mailing list.
