I seem to recall my SuSE 9.2 hanging like that when I tried Windowmaker. I tend to stick with KDE but I just wanted to explore a bit. Didn't like the other desktops too much so I went back to KDE. I know, shallow but It's what I like :-)

Why would you have to reinstall? All you need to do is install the RAM and boot the machine. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

As Kevin Donnelly says, it's probably not necessary to reinstall. But I WOULD run an fsck.reiserfs over the disk partitions. You will need to know what partitions the disk has (fdisk -l /dev/hda) and what they are formatted as (/etc/fstab) If you're happy on the command line just boot a rescue system off any Suse CD1 and type: fsck.<filesystem type> /dev/<partition name> eg: fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda1 or fsck.ext2 /dev/hda1 (if you have a separate boot partition) fsck.reiserfs /dev/hda3 ( for /) If this spots any problems you will need to run it with "--fix-fixable". If you want it automated and GUI the SuSE9.2 installer provides an excellent repair tool. Boot off the CD or DVD, and choose "Install" from the boot menu. Once it's up you choose your keyboard layout. In the next screen it will start to put up the screen to configure an install. But it will pop up a window to say it's found an installed system and offer the option of repairing it. Fully automatic is slow, in custom or expert you can choose the boxes you need. As background I had some very subtly faulty RAM once. Running memtest, it took all weekend to catch a single glitch. In normal use it would crash the OS once or twice a week. Trouble was each crash would leave me with another file that was death to any process that touched it. You can imagine how useable my desktop was with processes randomly hanging as they fell in the holes... As a happily booted system says, "Have a lot of fun". michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
