Interesting meeting - perhaps we need some more "focused" features next time. What do other people think? I dragged along a laptop, and stuck SuSe 7.2 Professional on it, but people seemed less interested in yet another distribution than expected. The install was smooth, and everything worked till we rebooted, when we discovered SuSe hadn't done a good job at getting lilo configured. I turned around to talk to Richard who owns the Crediton Cybercafe, and when I turned back Mark Evans had sorted it out. I live in hope of being able to tell people Linux installs without editting any files by hand, but not quite this time. Later I found that I need to "know" I needed Wireless tools, and that the SuSe 7.2 handling of PCMCIA networking seems to be brain dead. The Laptop still shows the same problem it had under Mandrake with the odd bit of corruption of the screen under XFree 4 - hmmm. The iwtools bundled with SuSe 7.2 didn't work nicely with the SuSe 7.2 kernel - it works but iwconfig throws the odd tantrum when asked for diagnostics. PCMCIA still starts after network in /etc/init.d/rc5.d (Why is this?), and rc.config looks like it should define PCMCIA, but doesn't by default (things work better if you add it in). Neil explained some interesting stuff about the D&C LUG, but still doesn't seem to want to do my company site. Still the D&C LUG web site is in good hands. Thanks for the explanation, and looking after the site Neil, should Pharmacy ever take a down turn you can always become a web designer, you are better than many I know. We missed the Chip shop closing time, but found a second one that served till 10PM, such a stunning nightlife Dawlish has, even in season. Comment was passed that we should try Plymouth next - maybe we could persuade TurboLinux at IvyBridge to act as hosts... Now if only I could recall who offered to host a Barbecue before the summer is completely over. Till next time.....
