Fw: Weekend Install was:- <. Still no 7.1 in Melbourne Australia
OK, i've come across a slight problem, (other than this the full install has been a breeze in 4 hrs, well done SuSE) I preface it with I had to use yast1( 2 hung), kernals 2.2 and 2.4 installed and x 4 (no problems) Problem: when the machine is rebooting after install it's automatically restarting Yast1 to see if anything's left to do. However since it doesn't give me a prompt I cant add NOPCMCIA=YES and it's hanging and I can't mount /dev/hda3 as root in rescue as image disk has died (my cat attacked it). any sugestions before I bug the help line. scsijon ----- Original Message ----- From: "scsijon" <scsijon@net2000.com.au> To: "suse" <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 2:26 PM Subject: is: Weekend Install was:- <.

HOORAY!!
I've just picked it up, at last (!@#$% Customs have held up delivery for a week for my supplier and is he peeved).
Looks good, now lets see how it installs on my new Dell 8000. I have notes from the Linux on Laptop site so should go well.
Screams for help next week folks.
just kidding scsijon

Cyber Essentials is my local one, he says it's not due in till late next week, he doesn't have anything on his webpage that's not in actual stock or backorder once the initial lot have arrived. LSL also says similar, but at least have it listed, just not yet here. Rocketisp i've never heard about and I have friends living at frankston who buy from Cyber and don't know of them, but from their own webpage they just seem like an ordinary isp, not reseller or anything!

Hi Lenz, can you pass on a request about when were likely to see it please? I've even bought a new dell 8000 laptop for it to reside on :-).
Hm, it should be there already. A list of SuSE resellers in Australia is here:

Have you tried to contact one of these?
The SuSE Reseller Contact for Australia is Andreas Brauer <abrauer@suse.de>

What about typing 'linux init=/bin/sh' at the LILO prompt? That should skip all of SuSE's init scripts, and then you can edit /etc/rc.config (I presume that's what you want to do?). Your root partition may have been mounted as read-only, so you may have to remount it. Other than that there shouldn't be any other problems.
