Hi Mike!
Yes, SuSE 8.1 on another box about a year ago. It wrote-protected the
hard drive and I haven't been able to do anything with it since. I think
I am going to have another wang at that box with FC 2. I *think* FC 2
will reformat the hard drive and get rid of/rewrite the current Linux
partitions.
I do have SuSE 8.2 and 9.1 on DVDs, free from Novell. I could try these,
but I only will if the FC 2 doesn't work. The database development guys
Ed Leafe and Paul McNett <http://dabodev.com> want me to use FC 2 for
dabo work because they are familiar with that environment. Oxymoron that
I would try to do database development, having screwed around for two
years trying to install an OS other than Windows.
I realize that I am not qualified to be trying this, but it is for a
charity that has no budget and I am the only one willing to try.
Regards,
Pete
