Another new Laptop

I have another new laptop. This one is the Compaq Pressario V2555CA. The main problem I am having with it so far is that after installing SuSe 9.3 on it, is the plain and simple fact that I cannot get Yast 2 to open. When I try, this is the error I get.....Woops! I now know why I couldn't do it from the command line. I was using yast 2. Not yast. But that does not excuse the fact that it will not open with the GUI.I have done an update, but haven't done a system reboot yet. Maybe the update will fix it. Well I figured out that if I will do this from the command line, it will sometimes open yast. sux . Then type in yast2 yast 2 will open. I cannot add any software right now, so I am sort of stuck for an answer right now. Maybe one will come to me over night.

Captain Kevin Continued

I finally finished a customer computer last night. It started with some basic Spyware removal, the complaint was that she couldn't get her network card to work. Well, I did my best and that wasn't good enough. I then did a virus scan and it found a lot of problems there. So many that I decided it was time to do an OS upgrade. I did it, then when I thought I was going to strat the Win 2K install, I lost video. I tried all of the usual things, like a different video card, RAM and nothing. What it took was for me to take everything out, put it all back together and Blamo! I had video. Now it is complete but it has been a fun time trying to get it all together. There will be more at a later date.
