I installed Suse on a Thinkpad X31 notebook (used a Suse 9.1 Special Edition CD found in a magazine). The installation went surprisingly smooth - even easier than installing XP. I gave a first try to Linux in 1998 and have to say that since then Linux has made a *HUGE* (can't stress the 'huge' enough) progress in the desktop area. I liked the user interface, but wasn't able to get the Internet connection to work. Under XP (installed on another HD) I have Internet access through the WLAN card of the notebook, which connects to a D-Link WLAN router, which is connected to a DSL line. Suse Linux should have asked for the password of the WLAN air interface (the 104 bit password), but it did not. Clicking on the KInternet icon produced an error message saying that either smpppd wasn't started or that I was not in the out group or something like that. Can anybody help ? -- Alfred Molon ------------------------------ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Olympus_405080/ Olympus 5060 resource - http://myolympus.org/5060/ Olympus 8080 resource - http://myolympus.org/8080/
