It seems that I have sucessfully installed SUSE. However, when I boot it after a while the boot process seems to succeed but then the computer powers off. In the manual there appears to be a different install process relating to power problems. Should I use the "Installation - ACPI disabled" option? Can I just do this inasmuch as SUSE is already installed? There is another option "Installation - Local APIC disabled" but no explanation of what this is. What do APCI and APIC stand for? The install also did not detect my wireless interface. I assume I can get that set up once SUSE boots up properly. Thanks! Doug

Doug, Does it actually power down or just go into a sleep mode in the display? If it's powering down, shutting off, that's going to be a bit odd. If it's just going into sleep mode, then you just need to make a few adjustments to some programs running. regards, Lee -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

It actually powered off. All lights out. I'm going to check the BIOS settings to see if there is anything there of disable stuff.
