SuSE 9.0 HeLP

capc
I screwed up again. . . While in SuSE I was opening up Counter Strike (steam) when it freezed. Being the complete newb that I am, I started mashing buttons. . . Anyways, I think I pressed CTR-ALT something and it took me to a command screen and prompted for login, I logged in and then restarted.

jag_n_nag
NT4 server install is being replaced with a suse 9. 1 install. NIC, Soundblaster (ISA 16 bit PNP), ATI video etc all worked fine in NT so I don't *think* there are any resource conflicts. System is pretty vanilla and has a linksys LNEPCI2 card.

Fedora Core 2 Tips

eb23mj6
I am new to Linux but am looking to learn a few things. First of all, I just finished my install of Fedore Core 2 last week and loaded all of the updates. I ran into a problem with the kernal update because the machine would still boot into the old kernal unless I manually change it on every start up.

Kernels? Upgrades?

Whiskers
I am running Mandrake 10. 0 Official with the 2. 6. 3 kernel, is there any need to upgrade to a newer kernel or to 10. 1? And what are the risks? For example if you upgrade the Xfree, I found I had to reinstall the Nvidia drivers.

Mandrake 10 installation problem

shrubbery
I've just tried to install mandrake 10 as a dual boot with XP pro. When I insert CD1 the Mandrake install page comes up. I click to install and the screen just goes dead, with nothing happening. I know that there's nothing wrong with the discs because they have been used successfully before.
