Hey Steve;
Whats all this about sissies and pansies? I know how to compile a program and
I also know something about SuSE as I started with version 5.1. These guys
are Germans and they don't like users to do things on their own. If you use
SuSE for awhile you find out they have made strange links and rearrainged the
file system to their liking so things that you the user do on your own don't
always work.
My experience with SuSE has been to ask first so I don't have to back and
clean out an installation.
Since I started the thread, let's leave it here.
