I installed 8.0 at home using boot floppies--could not boot from CD due to age of machine, but the installation thereafter worked OK. OTOH, I tried to install the same CD on a machine at work, and had problems. One problem was with the Qxx--whatever it is lib that runs KDE, so I aborted. However, same machine had a problem with Windows install. Maybe the CD drives are not so good anymore? PS: Can I copy the CD to the Windows half of the drive, and install it from there, somehow? --doug At 07:29 06/03/2002 -0400, Damon Register wrote:
After having been away from the list a while, I rejoined several weeks ago and saw the posts about 8.0. At first I thought I would wait for 8.1 but this weekend in a weak moment I bought SuSE 8.0 Pro. My PC booted from the first CD but just hung with the clock cursor right after the search for the braille display. I went to another Windows PC to make some boot floopies to try that way but the rawrite directory wouldn't even copy to my hard drive. The CD is unreadable. I returned to Best Buy for a replacement and tried installing with that one and it has the same problem. This morning I tried it on two different PCs at work and the same problem. What is the problem with SuSEs manufacturing? I remember reading one post that complained of CD 1 being unreadable. Have others had this problem?
