If both CD and usb devices do not work, I would think that possibly your udev subsystem might not work (correctly). First test with an usb Stick -plug it in -issue as root fdisk -l Your usb stick should be around the last line as /dev/sdx where "x" is some number. If not, I would COMPLETELY reinstall the udev subsystem and while you are at it, anything with "hal" in its name could also be a good candidate for a refresh. For sure this is NOT a bug with opensuse or kde. I saw a good dozen of 10.3 installs up to now and none of these misbehaved like this. In general this simply works. So I suspect that your box behaves "special". Questions: Is your computer a desktop or a notebook? Are you using IDE/Sata/Scsi or other disks? Is your CDrom attached via usb? Anything else you think worth to mention? Kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
