SuSE 9.0 install

[Peter Amisano]

I got the patches to work using:
ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/

Subject: SuSE 9.0 install

So the SuSE 9.0 install completed last night. Realistically, installing from
ftp.novell.com over a good cable modem connection took around two hours,
maybe 2.5 if you add in stuff like partitioning and responding to prompts.

Now for the tweaking.

First off, I notice that the "Windows" keys aren't activated.

I'm having a little trouble with the PCMCIA cards, but I seem to have gotten
a
wired connection with the 3c574 at least. Not sure exactly what I did, but
once the card was firmly inserted it worked.

Not so the acx100 wireless. It's detected and described, but doesn't light
up.

YaST's software update doesn't work out-of-the-box. I think the path for the
only U.S. mirror, sourceforge, is wrong. I finally got it to work with the
path ftp://ftp.novell.com/pub/suse/ - had to trim back to just the "suse"
directory. We are now 33% patched.

Why can't they patch the distro files directly, so you don't have to
download
everything twice?
