Memtest is a memory test program. It can be run from the install disks. You start it and let it run for a while, to see if any errors turn up.
Thanks James. I ran that for an hour or so and everything seemed to be fine.
However I'm still at a loss as to what I do next (put it down to advancing years).
The options on the install disk - apart from memory test - are: * Boot from hard disk * Installation * Installation - ACPI disabled * Installation - Safe settings * Rescue system
I tried rescue system, but it just presented me with a console login that only appeared to accept 'root' and no password. After logging in in this way, I'm just left at a command prompt with no idea what I'm supposed to do next.
Could you perhaps supply a few pointers?
Perhaps it's not on the 9.3 disks. It is on the 10.1 install disk #1. You can download only that ISO and burn the CD or Google for Linux Rescue CD, which also has memtest -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
