Hi Jiri - >Sorry, Riwal (is that your first name?) - too tempting - I could not >let it go. And no, I haven't got what I would call an exotic setup. >Just an assembly of relatively cheap parts, some salvaged from my >older machines, so I can get within the financial limits, my wife >imposes on me, every three years or so. ... Yes it is (it's breton) wifes usually make problems. Because what she does (and children's games) with the machine I assembled for them are much more important than what I do, I was forced to give her my sony monitor as her was dead. So that I was trying to work with an old monochrome (yellow) monitor. my eyes became monchrome too: red .-) >Often it is just my old 4.3 gbyte 5 inch Big Foot that causes trouble, >at other times it was my no name cdrom, or the cheap graphics card, or >my external modem (one of the first 56 k Dynalink abortions), or any >combination of these. But I am not giving up yet... you can get good information about your graphic card on this link: http://www.xfree.org/3.3.5/cirrus.html I searched the supported hardware database from SuSE, and didn't see your hard drive. they mention two other bigfoot model. But it should not be a problem for IDE drives, linux gets its information directly from the bios. Riwal Raude rauder at thmulti.com
