SuSE install cogidas up

Q

OK so I locally mirror the SuSE 9.1 install tree for x86-64. The install flys through but about 1/2 the installer skips, KDE uses a weird, unchangable kayboard map that has z and y changed and NO = SIGN! It also didn't get online and didn't have PING (!)!

So I screw that and try to install it from the mirrored server over the Inet, which fails even earlier. SuSE 9.0 does the same from the sambe mirror. So now I'm installing from a government mirror and so far, so good.

linux with out a WM works excellent. I have it on a 75Mhzm, 2Mb RAM, and a 50MB HDD. Better than DOS (speedwise)

IBMWarpster

You can install Redhat 9 on an i386 (32-bit) with 4Mb of RAM in text mode.

I saw it runs perfectly good, IBMWarp, shut up, if you're a Linux n00b and don't know how to optimize Linux !!

IBM seems to have a grudge against linux for some reason

Andrew

IBMWarpster is ignorant, that's why. He doesn't know the first thing about Linux.

Bash

Linux is much better than windows in some ways, i have seen linux servers go for over 1.5 years. Now, I do not see Windows Server 2003 do that, it crashed within 60 days on me.

BOD

thats cos windows 2003 hasnt been around for that long (i think)

IBMWarpster

2003's been out since early 2003.

BOD

so yea as i sed

IBMWarpster

Wait....It was during the summer around July 2003.

BOD

then theres no way that win 2k3 could be on for that long then

IBMWarpster

Hell it's been a year already and about 2 months

Bash

sorry, i accidently put a 6 instead of a 3. sorry.

IBMWarpster

eh? 60 days = ~3months. Windows 2003 was out for well over a year -_-

BOD

no ibm 60 days more like 2 months....

IBMWarpster

oh god...LMAO I was thinking of 90 :-|

BOD

and its 11PM and i aint slept for nearly 36hours and i still get it right....
