I just subscribed to this ML today. I'm currently running RH5.1 (have been since 4.2). I've been interested in SuSE since I found it's X-server to work better with my video board. But, I'm not familiar with it beyond that. I'm planning on getting a new hard drive soon. At that time, I wanted to give SuSE a test run. So, the questions? 1. What does it take to install it? I get the ftp site but, without knowing the layout of the diectories I can't be sure of what I really need and what I don't. RH puts all of the necessary files in the RPMS directory, except for a few in dosutils. How does SuSe lay it all out? 2. Since this is only going to be a test to determine whether or not to buy a cd in the future, how much of which directory(s) do I need to get ppp, mail, news, etc? I already found the X stuff. 3. Is there someplace where it's documented about the install process? 4. What configuration tools (X and console) are required to add users, set up ppp, tweak the system, etc? I guess that's it for now. Thanks for any help (list or private) anyone can give. -- We all be gwine upta hebbin! - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
