Have some general questions before I begin. Any help is appreciated.
I am leery of x86 v4 as I have my WinTV (Haggopen) all set up under 3.3.6 , and I don't know if there are any drivers for it under 4. I could never get kwintv to work, so I used xawtv. Can I run both 3.36 and v4? I have a NVidea TNT2 32 MB card. Is v 4 stable, or I am just paranoid on this? Is anybody running a TV under x86 v4?
I think you should be OK on this......SuSE sponser the XFree project and usually have enhancements before anyone else gets them. They didn't put it in last time, because at that stage they didn't think it stable enough. I have an old Mach 64 so 4.0 is not an option for me :-( SuSE have a support database to check on hardware. - -- Brian Galbraith [ Sylpheed 0.3.29 ]| GnuPG 1.0.3 | SuSE Linux 7.0 ] Encrypted Mail Preferred http://seattle.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x63EBA765
Also, how stable is ReiserFS? I know not to put it in /Root, but is it overall stable? Can I back up with it, etc.? To put it in, do I have to be in the expert install.
Some say it is not stable (Debian types), but I know people who use it in a production environment. I actually stuck with ext2, as I have only 3G to play around with on Linux. It is very fast on large volumes. I believe you are given the option with Yast2. I kept my old partitions so didn't get that option.
I have 2 HD, one for W2K and an entire HD for Linux. I was using Mandrake on the second HD, but will remove it completely for the new SuSE. Drake sets up a boot loader called GRUB which gets around the 1024 limitation, but I know that SuSE will install LILO. Any precautions that I need to know. I am sure it will install LILO on W2K or hda, and thus kill GRUB altogether..
I will leave this to the experts ;-)
Can I install Gnome completely, in addition to KDE. I really like the gedit for cut and paste. I understand that there are standard installs, so would it be better to install from expert or some other convention?
You can pick and choose individual packages.....Yast will automatically install any dependancies....you can also install the lot if you wish.
Thanks again. I am really looking forward to this.
As they say in SuSE.......Enjoy! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Seahorse v0.4.9 http://seahorse.sourceforge.net iD8DBQE5zUnZEPpEmWPrp2URArgTAKCHK8XbJqfa4J9KlyuBdNrkdwGhpwCeMeU8 TOYQz2Z1mriVQvx50enZ2bE= =ZrF1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
