You are tenacious, Dave, great :-) Some may say tenacious, others would say that I am too stupid to know when to give up. ;) You wanted to but were kind enough to honour the efforts of list members :-)
Still no joy with Lilo ? Did give LiLo a shot, but the situation is even worse. On boot I get half a screen full of 01s and then total lockup, requiring a hardware reset. Thanks for trying to help, but I am sad to say Microsoft has won this box. Did anyone ever attempt to make a systematic survey of reasons why Linux remains such a small player ? Of course corruption on a massive scale is involved in selling Windows to governments and corporations. But why is the percentage of surfers using Linux so small ? Is it mainly because of the games or are the shortcomings of Linux an important factor and which ones most ?
It's declining. Every battle-field systems I've seen in the US military is NOT a Windows systems. Solaris and Linux can be found on the battlefield, but no Windows. And recently, it was decided that all fileservers for offices should be migrated from Windows to OS X to reduce the Army's vulnerability to virus attacks. When soldiers lives are on the line, the decision makers get nervous when the massive problems with Windows are raised... the US military is one place where you CAN get reamed for buying Microsoft. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
