An easier way to install 2.4.17 is grab the SuSE RPMs from the people/mantel directory on their ftp servers. Making backups, and installing the RPMs and running mk_initrd and lilo is relatively simple. (If you can't figure out what I just said, again, stick with your existing kernel - as uncool as it is to not be running the latest - until you can. I just told you everything you need to know.) You can get the more thoroughly tested 2.4.16 kernel at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.3/kernel It works with the latest nVidia 3d video drivers without having to recompile them, which might make your life a bit more complicated by making X crash on startup if you're running a later kernel without first recompiling them against the new kernel. -- What makes the universe so hard to comprehend is that there's nothing to compare it with.

Nope. Not anymore 8) Today its been switched to 2.4.18-0 (whohoo) altough it doesnt have pre1-ac , but just pre1 - its still runs smooth and nice 8) Cheers, Sergei PS: supporting spirit of Fawlty tower "There are things living in it, Basil. Its nasty" i.e expect bugs 8) 2.4.17 and 2.4.18 arent yet approved by SuSE officially 8)

Neat. :-) I heard that 2.4.18 had some problems with Sparc systems and didn't contain other fixes. The conventional wisdom for this version is adopt with caution.

I'm still running 2.4.16 - I guess that means I'm not a real hacker. ;-) (Of course I started running Linux with 0.95 - luckily I have made a few kernel upgrades since then. ;-) ) -- 2180, U.S. History question: What 20th Century U.S. President was almost impeached and what office did he later hold?

<geek reminicience mode on:> Starting with Linux 0.95 was not a feat of high magic. Many years ago I found it on BBSs in suburban Washington DC. I ran it on a 386sx-16 with 4 megs of RAM, it took a couple of hours to recompile the kernel using GNU C 1.40 and I couldn't run X. It wasn't the SuSE distro :-), but that was when there was a choice of downloading Manchester, SLS, or "do-it-yourself." Mine was "do it yourself". The installation wasn't tough, but that was because I didn't have to worry about special video cards, fancy mice, X windows (though X was available), graphical printers, or TCP/IP (I used xc as a terminal dial-up program.) Before I moved out of the DC area, and thus out of range of bullitin boards on the Internet at that time (tho I was still on FidoNet, which had internet email, and operated a Fido netted BBS for a while), I had upgraded to 0.99 and was hearing rumors of a company called Slackware which offered Linux on floppies, and some wierd named distro with a name that begins with a Y that offered the first Linux CD. Soon after I lived in a college town and had a university library card and access to their computer labs. I thought that gopher would take over; www didn't have a chance because it looked so bad on a tty compared to gopher and there were so many more gopher sites than web sites. :-) <geek reminiscence mode off:>

Hi All, now let me see.... Now I think it was back in the early Ninteen Hundred & Eighties. Yes. Um.... ZX81..... I had a rattle with one of those dam things for a couple of days, but the darrrn thing made no sense to me-so I gave up on computers..... Then a ways later, I got a 386-SX-16, with 1 meg of ram! But it came with DOS (4.1) or Diabolical Operating System. Well, it made more sense than the Sinclear-but it was/is a battle. Now I am mostly a Linux man, until it comes to Civ III. Thats my story & I am sticking to it! Greek Geek :-) Gordon Pritchard wrote:

You're right! Now I have to figure out what the name means.... :-) (OOTC: SuSE has an odd name too, but at least I can remember how to spell it. ;-) )

"Askur Yggdrasill" was the tree of life in the the nordic mythology. Below its roots sat the three witches "Urður", "Verðandi" and "Skuld" and wove the lifethreads of men.

Or one backup tape: The prefered method of distribution of large distros other than CDs (which not all computers had back then) was backup tape; and I think Slackware came on that.

Which comes on a DVD-ROM as well as CD, they are the ones ahead of everyone else when it comes to media today. It is the only software I have that takes advantage of my DVD-ROM drive. :-)

It is the name of the World Tree in Norse mythology. The 9 worlds hang in it's branches. I thought it was a great name. Be well, Lissa

Yes, it is up and running. But AFAIK they don't mantain the distro anymore. Moreover the DVD Archive dates from August 2, 2000. rgrds, ------------------------------- Bráulio Gergull GetNet Comunicações Ltda. gergull@getnet.com.br http://www.getnet.com.br ------------------------------

They started putting out CDs of FTP sites. Don't know what happened after that. Any ways Cds were a luxury. It used to come on 30+ floppies. Try downloading that at 14.4k-) I think I still have the book. Nick
