If your partitions are deleted, you have choosen the wrong option. Its not Suse, its you. Suse is one of the few distros supporting KDE as default. I am on Suse 11.4 and have no problen whatso ever. Some applications work on few distros and some not. Thats the way linux is and it provides alternatives. Suse is configured with traditional ifup network command. thats why it shows the red icon in networking applet. One cick in yast will change it to Network manager.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-77952046378911947822012-01-18T09:44:27.721+00:002012-01-18T09:44:27.721+00:00Thanks for sharing the link.

Alternative methods do work, while official method does not. FTP setup is not valid at all, I used Live run.<br />2. Not valid since you had USB boot.<br />3. Why do I need to download anything extra, if I know that my WiFi card is supported by some distros OOTB? Look <a href="http://linuxblog.darkduck.com/2011/06/testing-strategy.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />4. I am not talking about Hindi, but Russian. Although number of users in Hindi maybe as large too. I am talking about ability to switch between layouts. I tend to write to different people in different language, and I want to have this ability in every system.<br /><br />GNOME was my choice. If system is released with KDE and GNOME, it should work for both. If developers know GNOME does not work... don't release it!DarkDuck (m)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06273784224243667602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-31357580199464866022011-07-01T03:01:02.543+01:002011-07-01T03:01:02.543+01:00#1...Wrong I installed from USB.
