Schmoove Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The software is for evaluation purposes, there is no limit on them, they are not feature crippled or anything like that.It's the full package pretty much. (Minus the huge manuals and etc.) That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePDW Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I hate to ummm... take advantage of Novell but you could probably make some pretty good money selling this stuff on ebay :ninja: Btw, is the Ximian Desktop 2.0 limited somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal_dragen Veteran Posted July 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 6, 2004 It's nice that they're doing this and all, but why oh why do they have to make work for us? They provide one DVD ISO and then DVD's with 3 CD ISOs on them. Why couldn't they combine the 3 CD ISO set into a DVD ISO? /rant Anyway, got mine last Friday. Planning on clearing a partition and installing next week sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that a mount option? Specify a filesystem type of ISO9660 buy using -t iso9660 in your mount command, I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Well, my set arrived the other day and I had to bin Mr RAID 0 array as YAsT said it was only software RAID and any partition configuration changes would destroy all the data :( So an hour later (after ghosting my WinXP, killing my RAID and ghosting the XP image back to my first 160GB SATA drive) I finally get to start the install. Now all I need is to get Open GL support sorted on my Radeon and get playing UT2003 :) As a side note, I'm now in work and I'm installing SUSE 9.1 on my Athlon 64 rig. When the disc booted I got a message "Nice Computer but.... - you are about to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit computer" I thought that it was a 64-bit OS. Can anybody offer any advice on how to force 64bit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted July 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 8, 2004 According to http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=suse SUSE doesn't make a 64-bit version. Yes, Linux runs on many archetectures, but distro makers must decide what platforms to support. Right now SUSE doesn't appear to have released x86-64 support yet (neither does Mandrake). Other distros, such as Fedora, do. Look around in distrowatch and find one that does, if you want to install a 64-bit Linux onto your system. (If I am wrong here, please correct my info without being rude. I am just reporting what distrowatch has for their info) ;) P.S. I really like the message they post when you try to install 32-bit SUSE on a 64-bit CPU. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By default - without any add-ons - SUSE LINUX 9.1 Professional supports AMD's Athlon 64 and Intel's? upcoming Extended Memory 64 Technology. Thus SUSE presents a 64-bit operating system and applications that make full use of the high performance and speed of these 64bit processors Oh and the message is cool isn't it? :DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jardragon901 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 The 64 bit version is a completely seperate distro on another disk, it works ok I guess, I just despise rpms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaKeY Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Right now SUSE doesn't appear to have released x86-64 support yet (neither does Mandrake). Mandrake has been 64-bit ready for a few months. http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/10/amd64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
