I did the same installation on SuSE 7.0 professional as on SuSE 6.4 on simpler hardware: K6II 266, S3 GX2 graphics (noname), 1 IDE HD, 1 IDE CDROM, 1 SCSI adapter NCR53C810 (onely as reserve, no device connected), PCI sound 1024 live retail (ct4760 board). Onely on minor problem with this installation: the KDE menu entries for Photo Paint 9 were lacking. Have to be transferred "manually" from the 6.4 installation of the other box to the SuSE 7.0 installation. Everything else seems to be as under SuSE 6.4. No SCSI on my work machine but otherwise I don't see any differences that would cause a problem. On another topic, what SCSI scanner are you using? Agfa Snapscan 600 Question: how should I interpret the relative silence of this list about WPO 2000. Several possibilities come to my mind: - this discussion about WPO 2000 happened before I subscribed to this list some days ago. - (different from Larry Marshall and me) there is consensus that WPO 2000 is a bad product and nearly no one has bought it. - there is a much better Office product. Which? - (different from Larry Marshall) there is general consensus about mandrake: don't use it for WPO 2000.

My brain just integrated this. I've got a "Red Hat" distribution with my WPO CD. Are you talking about the basic .setup script that installs ALL versions or something else? The install script for non-Debian distros is on Corel's WPO 2000 for Linux website. Joachim Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
Re: [expert] WPO 2000/PhotoPaint on LM 7.1?
Question: how should I interpret the relative silence of this list about WPO 2000. It's a list about Mandrake Linux that's most filled with programmers? - (different from Larry Marshall and me) there is consensus that WPO 2000 is a bad product and nearly no one has bought it. People who haven't bought the program shouldn't be a good source of opinions, whether they be positive or negative. - there is a much better Office product. Which? Star Office is very robust (though Adobe font-oriented) and open source. As long as WPO is Wine-dependent it will not be favored by most I think.

Several possibilities come to my mind: - (different from Larry Marshall and me) there is consensus that WPO 2000 is a bad product and nearly no one has bought it. I have it, used it on 7.1 and like it a lot. I'm now using the beta / cooker versions of Mandrake and honestly haven't had the time to load it back up. - there is a much better Office product. Which? The Office products for Linux are not as evolved as the solutions that you will find for Windows, that's just the way it is. Yes, everyone has their opinion on this, so please don't everyone attack. It's pretty much a toss-up over which features are on which product, but I think at this point, it's between StarOffice and Corel WPO2000. - (different from Larry Marshall) there is general consensus about mandrake: don't use it for WPO 2000.

I've had a couple times where it looks as though the font server has gone to sleep as I get a msg saying that it's going to start it again when I load WP. This delays the start up of WP by a few seconds but that's the worst problem I've had thus far. english). I have applied the PhotoPaint update script for wine to update the wine libraries used by WPO 2000 to the newer ones of the Photo Paint distro. I haven't done anything with PhotoPaint. My Hardware: 2x466 Celeron, Matrox G400DH, 1 IDE HD, 1 IDE CDROM, 1 SCSI HD, 2 SCSI adapters (2940UW, NCR53C810), PCI soundcard (trident 4DwaveNX chip), SCSI-streamer, SCSI MO drive, SCSI scanner.

I don't think anyone can do that but you. Cheers --- Larry Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
