Super RC1 install: comments and questions
I have an HP Pavilion ze4500 that I'm using to try out the release candidate, my experience has been mostly positive so far, although not without problems. Now that it's done I have a couple of problems I haven't been able to resolve. I liked the simplicity of the one click settings, but I found it too hard to use when manipulating files. I used the simplest method I knew to change the settings back which was the KDE desktop settings wizard. As a result, I lost the Suse icons. I was very disappointed that there isn't a Suse icon theme or overall KDE theme for the default. Is there anyway to get the Suse icons back once they've been changed? I was very impressed that the installer chose the correct 1400x1050 resolution, but somehow the fonts are rather large. Has anyone else noticed this, or is there some screen metric setting I'm missing? The fonts say they are 10 point, but this is the largest 10 points I've ever seen. Lastly YaST is undoubtably the crown jewel of Suse, but it can often be unresponsive. It's hung on me a couple of times starting services and such, but most annoying is when it can't connect to an online repository. No amount of clicking 'abort' will stop it. Is there a timeout setting somewhere or an elegant way to handle this? Thanks in advance for any help. I've enjoyed Suse so far and I'm looking forward to recommending it to people as a good introduction to the world of Linux. Sander

Yast, Hardware, Ghraphics Card and Monitor, Change, Desktop, Monitor, Change configuration, properties, Expert. There you look if the with and hight are correct. If they are correct, you can still change them by enlarging it or making it bigger. That for the large/small icons houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

I looked at this and all the settings were correct, except the ratio for some reason. I think the problem is that the SUPER didn't include the 100dpi fonts. I installed them, but I'm unclear as how to get them to be picked over the 75dpi fonts. Of course I could be wrong about all of this, but all the other settings look correct. Thanks for the help, Sander
