sorry I took so long to say thanks. I have joined the yast development
mailing list and have downloaded the yast documentation package.
By the way the kernel you are running was the one I last crashed my
system with trying to get the nvidia video drivers to work with it. I
did not quite understand the workings of pata and my system didn't see
the hard disk after kernel compilation and then yast stopped working and
x but thanks to having everything it took a few hours to have a better
system with my 10.3 beta 2 cd and my local repository. I have reverted
to my old 2.6.22.9 kernel. I can't seem to get the nvidia installer
to work on the 2.6.24 one.
