Install of k_athlon.rpm failed because portions of the filesystem are
read-only
So, I have backed-up /home and / and will try a new install of SuSE 8.2
Is there an easier way?

Sylvanus,
Try dropping back to the last SuSE approved kernel, 2.4.20-96 from
their
update site. It cured some problems I was having with graphics and
I
suspect it might with you as well. I am guessing you are using
Mantel's latest kernel?
