Well, I finally received 7.2, and I tried two types of installation. First, an upgrade from 7.1 and then a clean install. Strangely, this time, the upgrade went better :) The clean install never asked me what kernel I wanted to run, which the upgrade did. A bit odd, but no big deal for me. The default kernel worked, which is all that matters at this stage. Optimizations can come later When I first booted the clean install, the mouse wouldn't work, it just went and hid in the corner and wouldn't respond to mouse movements. I've had this before and it means that it hasn't been correctly identified as imps/2. I decided to reboot and try the text install, but I forgot to enter 'manual' at the prompt so I got right back into yast2. Imagine my surprise when the mouse worked this time. hm. The rest of the install went without problems (although my printer still isn't supported :() The upgrade worked at the first attempt, without any issues at all, I'm glad to say. This is wonderful :) The rest of the weekend will be spent trying to find differences from 7.1. On the surface there doesn't seem to be much, but I'm sure there's a lot if I dig deeper. Regards Anders
