okies, got 8.0 installed w/ much less trauma than expected.So that's very nice The system update also went very quickly... There are a few strange things, for instance ,the first "jarring" bit is NO floppies, even tho the packaged books refer to them as being "in the box" install floppy and , I'm guessing a modules floppy. and tehn there's this: although it finds both the ide cdrecorder ( as it's designated) and the scsi cdrom , it refuses to play music from the cdrecorder, and that is the one w/ the sound card installed on it ( well, it only makes sense if you ever want to check the sound I supose. but as 7.3 never could decide which one ought to do what ( fortunately, xcdroast sorted them pretty quickly, but that apparent;y is not something I can pass to the cd player(s) , apparently. I love the neat backgrounds guys ... genral kudos to the team that must've sweated blood to have so much work out of the box , and thank goodness, no more of that stupid kinternet icon.( especially as it isn't needed here. <G>) Either I'm more easily pleased , or it's a great product. And there are enough fixes in it to make it definatly worth the price. But , I join in hte general condemnation of no more stickers... <sigh> Please, SuSE, don't loose your playful streek. It's very endeering <G>
Hello Linux folkz, Yesterday I've gotten new SuSE8.0 box and immediately made clean install on one of my boxes. So far everything is working great, but looks like KDE3 configuration for root account has some kind of bug or configuration flaws. When I change KDE3 desktop and panel settings as a root user, everything falls back to default settings upon my next login in root account. I've tried to configure /root/.kde/share/config/kdedesktoprc manually, but upon next login the effect was the same. My changes somehow were overwritten to default values. What should I do to retain my settings? By the way, is this right that user account directory with KDE3 configuration files named .kde but not .kde3 what seems to be more logical? Could somebody help me please to resolve this issue. Many thanks in advance. Alex
As solved by previous postings, touch /root/.skel/kdebase3 Regards, Josef On Tuesday 30 April 2002 18:41, Alex Daniloff wrote:

Joining the thread late, but it appears the lack of stickers was intentional. Bummer! I tore that box apart looking for the stickers thinking they had slipped somewhere. Well, I still have some left over from my 7.3 box.

Welcome to the wonderful world of cost cutting....I would just get the logos off the web site and take them to a print shop if you are that stuck on that idea of stickers (pun intended). :)
