I'll be doing more later but just wanted to scram that one out for
now.
'Kernel update KILLED the system again....Thurs. night. 'Been up all
night and going to bed.

The kernel in RC1 appears to be OK, Fred. Nothing got 'killed'
(except that I have no sound but whether it's because of the kernel
or not I don't know) - and even the very latest nVidia driver just
released (and on the nVidia site) compiled and works OK.

Even KDE4 is starting to look respectable.....
Ok.......I have it coming in SLOW, of course as only Torrent for a DVD
d'l.....sorry, but I'm not amused with that. :( Oh.....writing this in
Ubuntu 8.04.......NOT fond of it, but at least it does work. ;)
Then perhaps you should be downloading the delta.iso to apply to the B3
DVD to bring it up to RC1- the delta is only ~730MB big. The URL for the
delta is given in the Announce list by 'Zonker' and is:

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-RC1/iso/delta/

'Got the CD w/KDE 4.0.....so far so good. 'Still can't hide the panel!!

Hiding the panel is the least of the troubles! :'(

Not only do I not have any sound but the icons on the desktop keep disappearing whenever an upgrade is made (none of this happened in Beta3). All this with KDE4. I am about to install KDE3 to see if the same occurs.

Ciao.
