Hi, All I just "upgraded" my Linux toy box from Fedora Core 1 to SuSE 9.1 Pro. The jury is still out on whether I'm going to keep it, but a satisfactory answer to this note will help. There was a graphical tool called "Disk Manager" in Fedora which showed the status of all known mounts. It had buttons for Mount/Unmount and Format which made using my USB Zip drive a whole bunch easier. I can't find any tool in SuSE for managing mounts. Which brings me to my second question: how do I get SuSE to recognize my USB Zip drive? With the drive plugged in, the install hung at Loading USB Drivers, which I took to mean that the needed driver was not part of the bootstrap kernel. I completed the install by unplugging the drive. When I plugged it in again, though, it was not recognized. Does this mean that the needed driver isn't in the default kernel, either? Finally, while mentioning kernels, booting Fedora, GRUB presented a menu of installed kernels which was updated automatically if a new kernel version was installed or an old version was removed. After the initial install I ran the online update app from YaST and received (as far as I can tell) a new kernel version. The boot menu was not updated, however, and in fact it doesn't identify the kernel build level at all. Am I going to have to maintain grub.conf manually? Individually none of these items presents a major issue, but together, they point to a release which is much less user-friendly than Fedora. Cheers, Gordon Keehn
