Inspiron 8100 & SuSe 7.1
Hello there, I have a DELL Inpiron 8100 notebook, P3 1.13Ghz, NVIDIA GeForce2 When I boot my SuSE 7.1 CD, it freezes at the detecting new hardware stage. I have been looking all over the web, but I havent got any solution to the problem. Is there any solution to this without having to get the newer versions of SuSE? Thanks. Ernesto

Generalizing wildly from my experience with desktops, I would suggest that when you select "Manual Installation" on the initial screen that appears when you boot, and several steps later, when you are given the choice between the Yast1 and Yast2 installers, pick Yast1 (text). Yast1 seems considerably more robust than Yast2. -- Emilio
