Hello: I recieved my copy of v8.2 Pro today (UPS was a day late!) and it is the "full" version even though I only paid for the upgrade -- kewl! It installed and runs -- on the first try! Even better! FTR, I was unable to get v8.1 Personal to boot properly on this system: Asus A7N266-VM/AA Athlon XP 2100+ Tbred 'B' 512MB PC2100 onboard GeForce2 MX video (2D only) onboard nVidia sound Seagate Barracuda V 120GB (60GB partition) LinkSYS LNE100TX v5.1 10/100 NIC CTX PV500 LCD @ VESA 1024x768x24bit @ 60Hz So far, things are totally excellent! The auto updating, LAN configuration -- it all works. I'm happy! The only things that I can think of at the moment that need attention: I'd like to get 3D supported, and I've downloaded the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run from nVidia.com but I can't figure out how to install it; and I will try to run the onboard LAN instead of the LinkSYS. Like I said, v8.1 Personal had an issue booting with GRUB (I could boot the system with the CD and use the Manual Installation...) but v8.2 Pro is singing along! I'm sure that I will have questions for the group about networking with Win2K machines and getting "at" an Epson 900 printer that is being shared on a Win2K machine -- but for now, I enjoy the fact that it's running! :-) -- Sincerely, Neil Blanchard SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional
Hello: I meant to include the fact that my Belkin 2-port KVM part# F1DK102P has *so far* worked flawlessly. No ballistic mouse gymnastics to be seen..it toggles via a keyboard shortcut (Scroll Lock/Scroll Lock/up or down arrow) and requires no power connection. On Tuesday 22 April 2003 1:57 pm, I wrote:

Hi, please ever in your life buy the D-Link dkvm-2. because it generates mouse problems when switching from a machine to another.

Go into terminal and find the file, Then type this: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run If its not executable and ls reveals it in white you need to do this: chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run Then the command again. Alternatively run Yast online update, you'll see a fetchnvidia type script there too. And it just works, well did with me :). Matt PS you will need to be root to install it.

Installing the smbclient software will enable you to talk to your Win2k shared printer, I believe. YaST printer install will then let you set it up using the 'other connections' and 'SMB printer' buttons. If you have the machine firewalled you will need to get it to allow access to and from the SMB server on ports 137-139. HTH Fergus
