The system is noticibly slower than my 10.0 install, and crawls when I use wget to grab an iso writing to my USB-Drive.
No show stoppers for me, and a number of things that I do like about it, enough to keep using it for now at least. I wonder what part of my slowness problem is due to Beagle running on my 733mhz Celeron with 512 M of ram, though when I was testing Sled10 with Beagle running, I did not experience this slowdown. NOTE: I would prefer to keep Beagle running, I like the search function of it, having used it several times.
I do have the source to quickcam driver module, and could actually remove the provided one and install it qc-usb-messenger-1.6, but I'm curious as to which version of the driver that I'm running. I did a search in YaST's Software module filtered for provide and spec'ed quickcam but got no results.
I have noticed that when I do get this thing up and running, it is VERY sluggish. I have a AMD64 x2 3800+ 2gb Dual Channel RAM, four SATA drives (two are RAID) and I hate to say it, XP is a LOT faster. :-O I also installed another distro as well because I'm trying to figure out this bootloader problem I am having, once I had that distro up and running, it was way responsive. It also only took less than 25 minutes to install. EAch time I have installed 10.2, it has been at LEAST 45 minutes, and that's being kind. :-) I'm hoping to solve my problem though. I like openSuSe, but I'm getting the feeling inside that this isn't the place for newbies to ask question. :-( -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
