FedEx dropped off my copy of copy of 7.1 Pro from Chumbo's this morning. But that is not the fact which has me jumping up and down clapping my hands in joy. I have several system, my main linux being a 650Athlon, included in these are 2 systems with Asus A7V MOBOs, an 800 Duron and a 1.000 Thunderbird, all hds on the 2 systems being connected to the onboard ATA100 controller. With the exception of the RH Fisher beta (which does not count) neither of these system has seen the light of Linux. Even if I entered the ide2 and ide3 params at the boot prompt the installation would always hang and I would be forced to concede failure. It was with some trepidation then that I decided to attempt the 7.1 installation on the 800. I hurriedly resized an empty windows partition and created an ext2 partition and began the installation. Because this was only a test I did the minimal+office and the installation it ran with No Problems. Even more suprising is the fact that all my hardware worked without special tweaking or problem. The reason this suprised me is that this system had not been set-up to run linux so I had several components sharing IRQs, which dosen't bother windows a fart (which is about all it is worth) but usually before with linux the first device loaded was the one that worked and the other elicited the resource busy error. On this system my SB Live, Radeon DDR, Linksys NIC, and VIA PCI to USB Controllor all use IRQ 11 and yet when the installation completed and I actually booted into SuSe They all worked. I had a great display, my USB mouse functioned, the sound can through load and clear, and the NIC connected the the internet trough my LAN without complaint. I do have a problem with Lilo, all I get even using the boot disk is LI, but that I can correct when I properly redo my drive partitions and perform the Full 7.1 installation. Thanks. Hats off and kudos to the SuSE team. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.

Yada yada yada.... I am jealous :-). Have fun! Looks like mine is no longer on back order and has been sent to the warehouse. Maybe they will ship tonight? Last time I got a shipment the e-mail to tell me it had been shipped arrived at the same time as the package. Where do they ship from? Hopefully N.Cal. Its going to my workplace as its hard to get otherwise and my wife will see the price...:-). Anyway, I am jealous, you get to play all weekend... Matt On Fri, 23 Feb 2001, Jerry Kreps wrote:

For what it's worth, Fry's San Diego has 7.1 on their shelves today. I bought four Professional boxes for use at the lab. I've got a 1200-MHz Athlon that is waiting for a fresh install. Alas, it will have to wait until Monday.... Regards, Lew Wolfgang SPAWARSYSCEN San Diego

Best Buy in Concord, CA, has both 7.1 Professional and Personal on the shelves. I'm just back with a Professional box. Now have to back up my 6.4 system on CDs to play with a new toy. -Kastus On Fri, Feb 23, 2001 at 09:28:23PM -0600, Jerry Kreps wrote:
