Whee! Ok, how about pricing on the upgrade? And is there info available on the (English) website yet? I looked but didn't see any... Michael Hasenstein said:

Ok, where did you come across this? Also, SuSE guys: Will there be an UPGRADE available, as well? And will all 7.1 versions have the new LILO?

Upgrade: yes.

lilo without 1024 cyl. boundary and no more problems booting from reiserfs. This means no more /boot is necessary.

I believe / as LVM is also supported now, installations on LVM partitions are still yast1 only.

Damn, I like the customer suppoert that SuSE has! Thanks! Geordon -- "There is a difference between knowing a path and walking a path." ~~ Lawrence Fishburne, as Morpheus

This would be from the suse-announce-e mailing list. I've just got that message from 'offical' sources as well.

Just skimmed this, but is it shipping with perl5.6 as well? Thanks, Tom

On my system I typed: mha@tyche:~ > perl -v This is perl, v5.6.0 built for i586-linux

Does anyone know if it will be with glibc2.2.1 instead of 2.0??

It will be glibc-2.2 with those patches from 2.2.1 our glibc guys (we've three glibc _core_ developers) thought to be well-tested enough. For all of 2.2.1 there wasn't enough testing. This is THE core package, after all, next to the kernel, so we can't just take the latest stuff.

Can someone make sure that this release works with Nvidia Gforce2 ( including mx ) cards straight out the box. If it does I will buy it. If it doesnt I wont.

Yes. In the case of Nvidia only Nvidia can do that, no one else.

I get emails every week asking me how I setup my card, and the problem is i cant remember, it took me ages even with all the correct information and support.

So please forward that request if possible.

If you send it to suse it won't help, we already know it and want the same. Direct lots of requests for better support to the company making the device instead!

I am having problems with Geforce 2 GTS (the DDR version), but its not really a SuSE issue. Hopefully 7.1 will have been tested with the Geforce2 family through th install process to actual testing of opengl apps and games. When 7.0 came out they had 4.0 which did not support Geforce2 to really any great extent again its the fault of bleeding edge stuff. The Nvidia documentation actually suggests using Xfree 4.02 for the GTS, not sure what is said about MX though. So much has actually happened in the last 6 months that my head spins with the thought of it. And that is not even including the 2.4 Kernel.... Matt On Fri, 26 Jan 2001, Timothy R. Butler wrote:

Just out of curiousity, what is the problem with the GeForce2 MX on SuSE Linux? The XFree86 project lists it as "supported" on XF86 4.02. I'm planning to buy a PC with one of those in it, so I'm rather interested in the problem...

Maybe for now, but I am sure it will be a totaly breeze to install soon Heck, I will probably get 7.1 and let everyone know how it went. Or, if I get off this list and get on with installing the thing I maybe able to document what I did and if it worked. I am hoping that with SuSE 7.1 all this would have been worked out before...

I wonder if I should stay away from this chipset (GeForce 2 MX DDR w/ 32 megs ram)? It sure looks nice though...

Great. I beleive 2.2 will do. Looks like we're all about to get I great package. I'll buy it even though I've already got most of the stuff installed and working on my 6.4 system. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
