The checkbox is missing for "other", so any entry in the input box is rejected if nothing else is checked. The only tool I use is an "other". -- ". . . . in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you . . . ." Matthew 7:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Similarly I was forced to decide if displaying the fibre channel port name was unimportant or important to me, neither of which is an acceptible way to say "not applicable". I don't want to say unimportant, because if I happened to have any fibre channel it might be important. And what's so special about a fibre channel port vs a scsi BUS/ID/LUN or an sata port number? And where was SAS anywhere in the survey? And "Used By" on the info display page probably means "Mount Point" but by rights I should put "I don't know what this means, and write-in mount point, and thus my input gets utterly wasted because I didn't select Used By, which probably would have ended up counting my input towards the feature I do value, and the "Other"'s all probably get ignored unless a collossal number people actually bother to write in the same thing. I really hate answering anything at all on a questionair when the option for answering correctly isn't provided. I hate that the results of such surveys get used as if they were meaningful too. "Look, 417 people said they used SATA vs 0 said they were using NFS or AoE or SAS or MTD or ... , and no one seems to care about the mount point much ..." Or like you, being forced to claim you used IDE, just to get the page to work at all just so you could write in your Other value also, so IDE gets an artificially inflated value. and the volume group page, isn't that missing at least 5 or 6 things AND n/a AND Other? Grr... It's like asking a peacful, straight, single male if he beats his wife or his boyfriend. -- Brian K.

Exactly, and being forced to pick one or the other when neither are correct. I think the person who drew up this survey needs to totally redo and re-think the questions and flow of the questions. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The partition list doesn't mention "swap" as a possible partition. You don't ask how many partitions we use per disk. Also, it doesn't ask how many operating systems we install: for instance, I have 10.2, 10.3, factory... windows, msdos... all that adds more partitions to the list. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

This link won't load at all.
