Blah, blah, blah........
If it really is THAT bad why not offer to SELL it for $10.00 and recoup some
of your loss ??
I suspect you are not being totally honest with the group?
If you wiped out or rendered your MBR unusable than you must have had a
previous install on the HD. Are you dual booting ? Exactly what happened
when you installed/upgraded ? What error messages did you get, if any ?
What hardware are you using ?
If you honestly bought 9.3 and really want to install it and get it working
you need to be patient. Almost every install of SuSE works 99+% correctly
for most users. When someone makes statements like you did it IS most
likely flame bait ! But if you really are sincere and WANT to use SuSE
than stop having tantrums !! It will get you nowhere with this group !!
Provide details and we WILL try to help you !! Cool off, take a shower, go
for a walk and then come back and try to have a dialog ! No matter how
hard you may try to dissuade others from buying, sharing, using this
product...IT WILL NOT WORK !!
Unless a lot of other people known to this group have similar comments to
the ones you made we will view you as a ....well you've heard it already.
So what's the story ?? I will not call you names as this gets nothing
positive accomplished. Did you even try an online update ??
Are you just going to throw out flames ??
Try to be civilized...Provide information.
Have a nice day :~)
P.S. If you've tried all those other distributions what are you doing ?
Just looking for a better distribution ? Comparing ? Or what ? You
certainly come off as a.......whatever....Otherwise your just looking
for.......flame wars....Explain yourself !!!
