yesternight, one friend of mine was helping me in installing SUSE Linux 6.3 on my pc.
first system halted after 60% completion, next
time it halted after 45% completion. hence gave it up and installed good old redhat
6.1.
what could be the problem? (as if anything can be done during installation)
how is SUSE compared to redhat, mandrake and others.
it was a whooping 1300MB having 524 packages for full installation san games etc.
redhat is only 600MB.
i noticed that redhat uses on linux native and other swap partition. but SUSE needs
one more linux native partition, whatever the hell
for.
