And there in lies the problem, you wish to argue rather than try to solve and cure the difficulties you face.
The Thesaurus shows that argue is interchangeable with, amongst others, debate, discuss, question, reason, expostulate. If it makes you feel more all warm inside substitute "debate" for the "argue" I used.
Most likely, no one is going to come to you location and hold your hand. If the OP does not understand "what is being talked about" it would be because you have failed to present the relative facts in an understandable manner for the OP. Frustration comes from not being able to "communicate".
You mean that my comment/response to Karl Sinn's post in the "milestone 5" thread is not clear enough?
Of course 11.2 works for a lot of people! For example, Patrick Shanahan stated (elsewhere) that it works for him but he also stated that he got to the latest MS6 (and probably earlier MSs) by using "zypper dup" and not by installing it using a downloaded CD of MS6.
Not quite, I did install from a live-CD but it was not called a "Milestone" at that time, but a build #, 143. But it is correct that I did no install from a downloaded CD of MS6.
You're fortunate, then, Patrick but I haven't been able to even boot MS5 to install to be able to use zypper dup.
And, when I find something not kosher, I file a bug report and assist when asked in attempting solution.
Agreed but then am I the only one downloading Live KDE CDs and not getting anywhere? When one downloads several copies of the (MS5 & MS6) KDE Live CDs and they all collapse with a black screen when you try and boot the CDs, is it the obvious conclusion that it is now immediately necessary for me to submit a bug report (and to provide *what* information in support of the report?) or is it more logical to first see if others are having the same problem and/or ask if others are also experiencing it? Perhaps the problem is with my hardware? in which case I need to investigate to see where the problem lies. As it happens I decided to test this out by downloading the GNOME [shudder!] version of MS6 Live CD and, as I already stated, it boots! (Mind you, I haven't yet installed it so there is still a question mark about its efficacy.)
