Problems installing SuSE Linux 10.0

[gore]

/etc/xorg.conf

As root, open that in a text editor like Emacs or Vim, and look for the resolution portion. Been a while for me asI haven't installed an OS in almost a month so I'm not positive what part of it it was I edited.

Another thing you could do:

/etc/inittab

Open that up and switch the default run level from 5 to 3 and run Sax2

from root:

sax.sh -l


-Maestr0

Before you went through a re-install did you at least try what I said?
I didn't have time to quote the site I got it from because I was out the door to work.

Edit: I didn't realise what time I posted that. I wasn't out the door to work. I had just woken up in a drunken stupor at 4 in the morning and decided to check the board.

The first time you install linux it usually involves about 3 or 4 reinstalls.

I just popped on open Suse 10 with not issues at all. In fact I was going to put it on my lappy this morning and got this message:

"cool computer but you are about to install a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit machine, do you wish to conitune?"

hell no.

All this talk of SuSE has gotten me all hot and bothered. I think I'm about to endure the FTP install seeing as I'm all poor and stuff.

You don't need FTP anymore:

http://www.opensuse.org

Just download the ISOs.

Hey, ummm, dude, use the 64 bit version If you bought it it should be there somewhere. They usually include 64 bit and 32 in the box.

gore is right opensuse.org is the ****. Just grab the 5 CD distro. It lacks all the fancy Novell tinkering but it's suse pure and simple. Excellent install too, in fact this distro is a marked improvement over 9x.


Gore dude, I looked all over the distro for the 64 bit packages. nada. Sure I can download them and I have almost done that a few times. But in fact even the store bought 32/64 bit packages are lacking a lot according to suse.com. They have a special DVD version with every single mouth watering 64 bit package included. Can't wait!

I am getting like muerto all bothered, shoot I think I'll run out to compusa. Oh and unlike the redhat open source packages the suse download is pretty fast. F red hat and Yast beats red hat package management any damn way.

With opensuse.org a clean install and good support forum there is NO exCuSe for not having SuSe. MMMMMM SuSe.


//EDIT from SuSe

there is a 64-bit DVD available with the same packages as the 32-bit DVD. But both these downloadable DVDs have a reduced package selection compared to the retail DVD, because the retail DVD is double-layer and can hold more data.

Problem is all the retail dvds I searched around here are the enterprise 300 plus dollar version. bummer.

Well here's all I have to say about this silly darn thread!

[codenamevirus]

hi

everything was goin good in Suse, untill I was configuring the Internet!!

In Windows XP, I enter the following things in the TCP/IP properties of my connection:

IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server Addresses. All the information is with me at present.

Now, How do i configure my internet on Suse, can someone tell, where Do I enter these settings!!

thnx

Since, I m a complete newbie to Linux, i think its makin a dumbo out of me, lol!!
