      Trying to update 7.1 from a local directory. It keeps bombing out with 
"Cannot find SuSE installation directory. Wanna burn these to a cd.

That was the one, setups everything and configs it so lilo and the sys 
are
on
the same page.  This is different from other distro - so it came out of
the blue for me and I think the same thing happened to Dave.  SuSE 
should
have an
HOWTO for this and cross index it about 70+ different ways - that way
newbies
can't help but run into the guide.
Cheers. Curtis

Yes. I run 7.1 here. Updated to 2.4.2 after dicovering that my scsi
"disappeared" I shortly discovered that mk_initrd is needed before
rerunning lilo.
It's covered in the SuSE Handbook (7.1) under kernel section
