My install was on an older Compaq laptop using ftp as the install method (downloaded the dvd iso and shared via ftp). On reboot X would not start and system went into text mode for second part of install. Culprit: the xorg-x11-libXext rpm was not installed with the system. The Linksys WPC54G PCMCIA card is being configured as a network card *_not_* a wireless card therefore you cannot configure the wireless settings since you cannot change the card type to wireless in YaST. Waiting for the screen saver to kick in to see if the system still locks up using the bcm43xx driver. This is a kernel issue not opensuse. Still need to download the firmware from Ubuntu in order to use the card. The package selection screen during initial setup shows up as an 800X600 window that cannot be maximized when using a larger resolution during initial setup. Bottom line: keep up the good work it keeps getting better with each release. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
