There are more things to be counted. SuSE support told me that I had to use XFree 3.3.x to run Quake3 ( XFree on my machine always blurted out and left the TNT2 in a bad state ) but all that was needed was to upgrade the XF86-4 to 4.0.1. I'd say they have good marketing ( maybe marketing is being pushy on the packagers ? ), good packagers that seem to have been in a hurry, and somewhat whimsy support. That last one they need to clean up a tad :-) The books are extremely good ! ( 6.4 also had good books, but these were better ) There are a lot of minor issues that I've seen with 7.0 ( minor being easily fixable once you have the know-how, being a relatively small problem for me, but somewhat a bigger problem for many of my friends ) that could have been avoided. I think SuSE is just having it's first encounter with the BORG-Marketing droids. Lets hope they won't be assimilated ;-) Keep up the good work SuSE !

bunch of messages about some process respawning too fast, wait five minutes. So I blew everything away and reinstalled again. And this time SuSE can't seem to find the 3c509 *or* the NE2000 card.
So right now it will boot up fine, no httpd.conf errors, but the dhcpclient isn't doing so well, since it thinks it only has lo to play with.
Not a very pleasant way to spend two days (so far).

Its a real shame that 7.0 ( "seems" ) to be producing so many problems because when it is finally working there are so many good things to be said about it. I am extremely pleased with the manuals for newcomers, I suggested a while back that some sort of documentation for newbies as to what their system was capable of was a good idea. ( sell yourself ). And I am really pleased with the integration into Windowmaker which Im sure wasnt there before. Compiling code seems to be much easier this time with less failed dependancies Like you, Ive had the ethernet card go missing ( solutions turn of pnp os in the bios ). My Epson USB printer refuses to be configured. and Ive also had the cdrom drive refuse to eject. Help system not configured properly. Oddities since these were all fine in 6.4. As I said its a shame, because I believe there are many good things in the 7.0 box and Im sure that a lot of time and effort have gone into the release. Unfortunately the more grandiose the release. the less 'problems' we expect to face on installation. It must be a difficult transition time for Linux distributors as they are called upon to make bolder strokes with their releases without the time to create the infrastructure/systems that one expects behind them.
