Was afraid you might need to do this and I'm glad BestBuy was good
about an exchange.

I suspect it had to do with the Promise controller on the mobo. WD
(and other disk makers) have had problems with them from time to time.
Seems it has to do the way the mobo maker incorporates the chips/cards
into the rest of the circiutry. I've never been able to decipher the
reported details of such glitches, so I don't really know if there is a
common thread of causation or just potluck.

As far as "brands" go, I don't pay _too_ much attention to them. I
agree with those that claim it's more luck of the draw re: which batch
or assembly line run the drive was from than the maker per se. They
all make good ones, they all put out turkeys from time to time. Then
again, good past experience can't be ignored and bad ones not soon
forgotten.

While the memories are fresh, you ought to take the time to note
symptoms and your efforts to make it work for future reference. You'll
forget the details in no time and with some notes you will at least
salvage some usefulness from the WD that refused to work. Google's
archiving seems to be unreliable as a means of note keeping these days.

Main thing though, glad you got one working :-)

And thanks for posting your solution.

Newbie question: Start linux (Debian 3.0r1) on runlevel 2

This is one of the differences between Debian and other Linux distros:
By default, there is no difference between runlevels 2-5. If a display
manager is installed, it will run unless you boot in single user mode.

If you want to start in runlevel 2 without X, you can either uninstall
your display manager (xdm, kdm or gdm), or rename the S99?dm link in
/etc/rc2.d to K01(same last three letters). Of course, you can also
switch to a text console while X is running, by pressing
ctrl-alt-F[1-6], and alt-F7 to go back to X.

Suse installation fail from ISO imge on Cd...Help

Sherry, did you try the advise I gave you a few days ago?
 

You need to type that in at the boot prompt. After you select "install,"
don't hit enter until you type that in. Then YaST should automatically go
to the site, automatically configuring your network.

I can tell by your post you didn't do it this way. Try it. If YaST still
can't configure your card (which I doubt), check the Suse site for the
correct driver for your card. The driver descriptions in YaST don't list
every card, just chipsets. There is a list somewhere that tells you which
driver works with which card. But if you try the above method, this
shouldn't be necessary.

What to get

In comp.os.linux.setup D. Scott <net>:

Debian is another great choice, it comes with a great package
manager (apt), there's even a sophisticated gui (synaptics) or so.

But if you are afraid of the command line, debian might not be
what you want.
 
 

Not that I could think of, just be aware that running KDE3 under
suse requires a power-full machine with enough RAM or you won't
get happy with it.
 

There are no problems, you might want to install additional
fonts.

Good luck

Ignore Peter. Despite his occasional valid technical point, he's so grumpy

I think her problem is that SBC told her that she must use their software

I am, I picked up two books on linux from the library on fri: linux for
dummies and redhat linux 7 for dummies. they're not very applicable,
though, since they largely assume the internet connection works, or
explain dial-up, etc. i'll have to get some different books.

Not good...
First advice I'd give is, memtest, you can download it from memtest.org.
(However if it's doing this on two DIFFERENT machines, it may be a bad burn)
