Hey, guess what? It’s NOT just a single use-case issue – I’m a new user who now apparently WON’T be, because my wireless card also requires compilation of the driver. If I want to start physically relocating equipment and using a lot of additional moving parts to make this work, I’m sure that I could – but really, why should I go through all the trouble?

Space is limited on the 1-CD media. You seriously think it’s a good idea to include *developer* compiling tools on that media? All average users should not need to use it. Those wishing to compile can certainly work out how to go to yast -> software -> software management to get it. If you want a selection of more packages on the media you should be using the DVD installer anyway.

If you think this is an indication of “having lost the plot” then you probably need to re-evaluate what you’re even saying. It was a conscious decision to not have GCC and other compiler tools on there, it’s substantiated and reason-based. If you could get out of your single use-case for a single second you would probably see that too. Good luck.

I for one will not be using SuSE again. I have used SuSE since 1999 and it seems to get worse with each release. A few years ago it was rock-solid and the best around; now it’s not even usable for me. The final straw was to find that gcc was not distributed on the basic media — Meaning I cannot get internet access from SuSE since I need to re-compile my modem driver. It looks like the openSuSE tema have lost the plot completely. What a weird decision. I am posting this from KUbuntu with which I will stick.

Hi Aaron

I’ve also a system with an Nvidia 6200 agp card. I’m encountering black screen errors when surfing the web with firefox. When I switch back to the open source NV driver (sax2 -r -m 0=nv) the problem is fixed. I’ve no other solution so far.

Does anyone else have problems with the Nvidia 6200 agp card? It works perfectly on debian and opensuse 10.2, but it crashes X everytime i try to run WoW on 10.3

Additionaly, I tried “the old way” and tried to install first in a directory.
That failed also and the error msg this time was: “Disk space tool low”.
I had marked a bare minimum of packets for installation (rough guess 500-700MB)
and the yastinstaller shows 70GB (!!) marked for installation. Really funny…
Not so funny I think is the possibilty that we might see this as
the golden code at Oct. 4th :-((

Hopefully they get their work done

Hello,
I’m trying to get an XEN guest running by using the Yast feature.
After filling out the forms in “Creating a Virtual Machine” the
VM is starting (boot messages are visible, no errors. VM is visible in
the Virtual Machine Manager) and after a while the text based installation
program is starting. Then I’m getting “No kernel found”.

Maybe I’ve forgotten some detail, I’m not working on that computer right now.
The installation source is an opensuse 10.3 beta3 DVD on phy:/dev/dvd
the disk to be the home of the VM is a 5G (LVM based) partition.

I’ve tried the whole procedure with different computers – results are the same.

Any hints?

Greetings
Juergen
