Perhaps because Novell is a lot more than that?
About the case itself: Per is doing a great job in submitting reports and as I've seen he's also one that follows up on additional queries (not everybody does so unfortunately... Very often you see a 'file and bye' approach). But wouldn't it be great if we could just convince Per to go one step further? It's not that he is 'requested' to do so, but very often just giving often enough a hint in the right direction motivates people to look at something new / more.
I completely agree and you will also occasionally see me take a few further steps. With the Milestones though I can't really commit much time, so I just report what I see. In particular a case like this when I can't even get the installation started and the Milestone is a clear regression from the previous. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.4°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
