SuSE 6.0



I installed SuSE 6.0 on Sunday. The installation aborted while writing the 
kernel. Did not have time to recover. I did that tonight. Went back to install 
the base system, and things went well. I was not able to get SaX to 
configure my X Server, but XF86Setup worked fine. I installed KDE and 
other window managers. I like KDE, but I have other configured. 

One problem I have is network. I have Mediaone set up on my eth1 card, 
and my local set up on eth0. I have tried a few combinations. The dhclient 
script specifies $NETDEV_0 (from rc.config). I tried setting up eth0 
assocated with the _1 and eth1 associated with the _0 definitions. So far, 
that is not working. I can manually set the interfaces up. I did manual 
ifconfigs, and I was able to ping external sites, so the problem is just 
getting it right with SuSE's scripts. (I would prefer keeping things as 
standard as possible, but I can certainly modify the scripts do do what I 
want. 

One complaint I have with KDE is that it does not list Xemacs or Emacs in 
any of its menus, but that's easy enough to add.
