Question for you linux pros!
shuiend:
Could i ask where you got Suse from. I am thinking you have the Live Eval version instead of the one you can install. The live eval version runs completely off the cd so you dont have to install it.
Kan:
haha Panos yeah debian was a mish :rolleyes:
Anyway wild_jester / BOB you are right, I do have Live Eval. All this confusion for no reason!!
I got it from Bali and didnt know there was more then one SuSE and as you can see I found it quite strange when it was trying to install and configure
files etc.
Can you explain what this Live Eval is for? Is it
possible to install?
Faust:
Live eval may be possible to install, but it would probably be better to go with a "proper" Suse. Last time I did a hard drive install of a "live" Linux (Knoppix 3.2) it was slightly buggy, and definitely not for a new user. It's much easier to get a full version of something. I heartily recomend Mandrake.
edit:Woops, sorry didnt see that you had tried Mandrake. What was wrong with it anyway?

I had trouble getting my connection up and running thought mandrake.
Let me explain. I would try and connect though 1 of 2 of the dial up programs and as you know it tryes to connect to your network, of which I dont have a chip (line drops straight after that). The other dial up program wouldnt connect to pppd and couldnt take the dial tone off (which is vital).
Out of alot of work and hassel I finally got some sort of connection working, BUT when I tryed to search it wouldnt search.. if I clicked on anything it was the same as if your are offline.
So the internet wouldnt work for whatever stuped reason. After this I tryed going back into mandrake after about a week of defeat and the whole thing went burzerk! It went to a total blue screen with all the program missing.
Strange but ture, and I havent tryed a reinstall after that horriable experience.
What do you suggest?
