This has to be the most ASSININE thing I have ever had to deal with! I have wasted darn near the whole weekend trying to get one stupid a$$ed bootloader to install and nothing on this earth should be this darn difficult! Even using the numbering system that was confimed/agreed to, it still gives me the error 23 statement. The main reason I liked SuSe is because it does mount (automatically) my Windows partition, thus I have access to different files. On Mandriva, although it installs in over half the time, and it's actually WAY faster than 10.2, and the bootloader ACTUALLY works, it's a pain to get the partitions to mount, I have to do a hard shutdown because there's no "restart" or "shutdown" command when you log off, which tales you to the login screen, which doesn't have a way to shutdown or reboot the computer. Ubuntu is a whole story by itself! Maybe in a few years when I'm 70 will Linux FINALLY be ready for prime time! Just think, I haven't even gotten to the HARD parts yet! Anyway, I really do appreciate all the help I have gotten on this. I need to go lay down, my head is about to freaking explode! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
