Hi,

I got my copy of 9.2 today, but I don't get my new laptop until next Tuesday at the earliest. That's going to make for a long weekend! I'll happily let fly an update when I've got everything running smoothly, however. I actually look forward to wrestling with 802.11g, 3d and widescreen LCD issues.

My exp with 9.2 is really good . ... though i didnt notice a very big difference for the desktop but surely for the laptops its amazing. ... it sorts out a lot of problems like pairing a bluetooth device ... it has a YaST module for bluetooth and IRDA .... much better wireless support. ... my wireless connection used to break before arbitrarily but not any longer. the suspend to disk works very welll .... means u cud just press the power button and it wud hibernate ... next when u start u are back to as u left it :) Happy computing

I've got a ThinkPad R31.

It would help me a lot if you guys could mentio make and model of laptops? I know there is specific help in the control panel for Thinkpads as well as Sony Vaios w/ potential purchses of new lappys it would be super if we coulg get specific make and model info from you guys as you get new or update old ones... There is enough space on my OOOOOLD thinkpad lappy, not so affectionally named the ton of bricks but not enough ram to install it... it only has 800Megs of hard drive if it's empty and 26 megs of ram!! ( 750cd ) the rather officious woman who took my order insisted"we have the top men in industry, corporate presidents who don't need more hard drive or ram than that . I'm sure it will be more than sufficient..." well, it wasn't. <G>

A 750 is ancient. Years ago, I had a 760E, which could reach around 90 MB.

But it runs Warp 4 so every now and then I drag is along... I guess she didn't know her company officials were only playing solitare and reading emails.

That's one of the nice things about OS/2. It's a lot easier on hardware than other OS's, yet generally gives better performance.

Yeah, if you can find the drivers :-p

Actually, that's one thing I haven't had a problem with.

Most folks don't know that IBM still has new stuff on the os/2 site. even has some wireless stuff ahem!

And of course, hobbes.nmsu.edu is still a good source of OS/2 stuff. Also, yesterday I downloaded Mozilla 1.7.3 for OS/2.

If I say "I HATE You two, Don, and Peter" don't take any offense, I'm just jealous!!!! <VBG>

I'm considering throwing a small karmic rock onto your pile.... but most likely I wont...

I know, I wish you happiness, and I mean that. Nice smooth installs and lots and lots of fun, dutifully reported every step of the way.... okay? Blondely,

wow! I just began installing it on one of the test machines ( a Micron w/ reletively standard bits, except posibley it's Cdrom , so far no howls of pain here. I'll keep you posted

Um, maybe I should send you some good karma points, it sounds like you are going to need them <VBG> ( I know I certainly do when I do installs.. tho the problems are usually my own and , of course, that good lod "Sometimers disease" )

:)

-- j -- nemo me impune lacessit I sympathize with your installation problems. I *finally* learned to wait until I get plenty of feedback from this list before attempting anything. I

Novell/Suse 9.2 arrived today and I just loaded it on my Z500 Centrino notebook. So far the install is clean ... let's see if I can resist tinkering until I make a mess of it! Next test is to see if it will recognize my Buffalo wireless pcmcia nic. I really don't expect it to without ndiswrapper but just have to try and hope ... doc
