Update: Micro Center had a deal I couldn't refuse on a dvd drive, so I took a spare hard drive and installed SuSE 9.1 yesterday. The first install had a bunch of errors and wouldn't boot. I saw a list of programs that reported errors, and it was too large to even bother with. I got prompted to start the installation process and went through it a second time. I guess it didn't like my vid card. Unlike 8.2, this one doesn't come with the xfree 3.x environment that lets me run the 3.x server for my card with xfree 4.3. The entire installation process was done in console version of yast, rather than yast2. This surprised me, since earlier versions of SuSE gave me yast2 during installation, even with my funky vid card. By the end of the installation, I couldn't see words on the screen (choices) untill they got highlighted by tabbing. Second install turned out ok, except for being stuck with 640x480 display. I wiped it out, and I'll try it on another machine when I get a chance. Greg
