        ... 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 .-)

        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.
