< I am not an experienced linux user>
7.3 Pro
I'm on my ninth attempt to set up a new installation . . . no joy!
Every attempt results in files not being installed, etc.. The last
try I used text mode and got the least amount of errors with the
files, one (1), reporting ERROR
I continued and invoked the GUI interface and then, as root,
tried to run yast in order to find and install the above file.
Results:
linux:~ # yast
[date/time]
Program aborted!
ERROR: Exec Command, DETAIL: -127 FILE: SystemCmd.cc LINE: 435
I've tried all sorts of drive configurations from only SuSE to
combinations with DOS/WIN and get similar results. The files that
report ERROR are never the same. I've ignored the errors and gone
on to the point I was able to download the updates but the machine
always produces weird results. re-mapped keyboard, random lockups,
failed networks and on and on and on
As a side note . . . I tried to update this box, SuSE 7.2, but it
failed. Thank goodness I can post with this one! <grin>
Here is what I'm trying to get up and working [7 days].
The box is a 1x1x30G; 1G CPU [AMD] 1G RAM 30G Drive [IDE]
Present DOS 6.20 C:\ 2G D:\ 2G E:\ 2G the rest is SuSE
1.44 floppy
CDROM [IDE]
NIC Netgear FA310TX
Video GeForce 2 MX200 nvidia
Hansol monitor 710E
Modem in external on ttyS0
Goal: have the 7.3 box as firewall and server, for small home LAN
four (4) machines OS/2/WIN/SuSE, at the cable entrance. Cable
not yet installed.
I'm off to try yast2 and see what happens.
