After having been away from the list a while, I rejoined several weeks ago and saw the posts about 8.0. At first I thought I would wait for 8.1 but this weekend in a weak moment I bought SuSE 8.0 Pro. My PC booted from the first CD but just hung with the clock cursor right after the search for the braille display. I went to another Windows PC to make some boot floopies to try that way but the rawrite directory wouldn't even copy to my hard drive. The CD is unreadable. I returned to Best Buy for a replacement and tried installing with that one and it has the same problem. This morning I tried it on two different PCs at work and the same problem. What is the problem with SuSEs manufacturing? I remember reading one post that complained of CD 1 being unreadable. Have others had this problem? Damon Register

Damon, I can't say I have heard of too many problems with the regular CD's in the SuSE 8.0 package. The DVD's have had trouble with certain DVD drives, but usually a drive bios update cured that. If in fact your problem is with the CD's, then I might suspect my drive being bad or in need of cleaning. Did you try the cd 1 on another cdrom drive?

I might suspect that too and I did clean but you didn't read all of my post. I tried on two different PCs at home and two at work with the same results and all of these drives work just fine with all other CDs that I have.

I had the same problem. I solved it by changing PIO setting in bios. Eventually PIO2 worked and I was able to complete an install. That was after 2 weeks of trying every combination of installation and bios setting I could think of. I don't know why the 8.0 dvds have this problem and I don't know if SuSE do either. I have a Relysis dvd and not a Pioneer where problems have been acknowledged on the SuSe database. Mike On Monday 03 June 2002 11:29, Damon Register wrote:

Probably shouldn't have interrupted in the middle of that other thread but none the less I too have had a number boxes that would not install from the cd's unless I started out in safe mode. The very same boxes worked fine from 6.4 up. Once the first cd was done/reboot all was ok (no safemode required). Just the initial boot/installing of cd 1 had problems. A couple of them had had dvd's added also. I had no problem with the dvd what so ever. Regards Mark
I installed 8.0 at home using boot floppies--could not boot from CD due to age of machine, but the installation thereafter worked OK. OTOH, I tried to install the same CD on a machine at work, and had problems. One problem was with the Qxx--whatever it is lib that runs KDE, so I aborted. However, same machine had a problem with Windows install. Maybe the CD drives are not so good anymore? PS: Can I copy the CD to the Windows half of the drive, and install it from there, somehow? --doug At 07:29 06/03/2002 -0400, Damon Register wrote:

AGPART is the AGP port driver package. If it isn't installed, do so.
You almost certainly need it. IIRC, there is a way to configure the
NVidia drivers to not use AGP. I don't know if you still need the
drivers. Also, you may need to compile the drivers from source. I
have seen similar error messages when using a driver compiled for a
kernel different enough from my own.

Ahhhh, should have finished off the last message. I also meant rpm's and not rps.
To me it looks like there is a kernel component AGPART missing, but not knowing anything about kernels I am reluctant to start playing, especially when I have almost got my installation to where I would like it. Samba is working on my home network, I can print to a printer attatched to one of the windows clients.
All thats left now is to set up the forewall efficiently and try and get dial on demand working so the Linux box could become the gateway.
