I must admit, I did also have problems getting 8.1 set up right. My 8.0 installs went flawlessly. After testing 8.1 on 1 machine, I didn't upgrade the rest. It took 4 attempts to get an install I could boot. Printing and several of the yast modules have never worked and it locks up from time to time. Fortunately that system was good to use as a test. I've used it like that for a couple of months now simply because the things that are wrong are not a priority, and I thought I could probably fix them. I'm gonna nuke it this weekend though. Rather than downgrade back to 8.0, I'm going to try Mandrake on it. I might try 8.2 at some point, maybe on a different machine. 8.0 never gave me any problems though, so when I'm talking about things that work great, I'm usually referring to that version. fwilde@chethams.org.uk wrote:

Considering the stuffed YOU which was in v8.1 one would think that after all the months between 8.1 and 8.2 the problems in YOU would have been fixed. But no.
I am not going to waste any more (on-line) time with YOU but going to install fou4s which has worked flawlessly for me after I installed it on 8.1 months ago. Download and install one small RPM, get on-line, issue 2 simple instructions on the command line and the patch(es) are downloaded and installed.
