Hi, Having decided that the drive on my 7000 had died I did a clean install on wife's 3500. Some thoughts: Make was not installed by default which seems odd. Try as moght I cannot get remote access allowed. Inetd is running with telnet ( in house network therefore safe ) enabled - portmap is not running but I cannot seem to get telnet in enabled in any run level ( presumably this is my lack of knowledge ) - otherwise 8 seems great - only shame is that my most used emacs package won't run under the version of emacs ( Not a SuSE issue ) and I don not know enough lisp to sort it. Easiest install since I started with 6.2 F

Do you have the in.telnetd daemon installed? It was not installed by default on my system, so even if you have telnet enabled in inetd AND have inetd running, when it tries to run telnetd, it won't find it. Check /var/log/messages after you try to connect. I was a little surprised that in addition to gcc and make, locate and updatedb are no longer installed by default. Except for locate/updatedb, most of the things that are not installed by default I consider good security practice. The system should install a secure configuration by default, then you can enable just the things you need. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net
