P.S. This is my first post using 10.3, which I have now installed on 5
boxes. So far this is a big improvement over 10.2 though some of the
improvement may be due to the fact that a lot of hacking on 10.2 messed
things up ! For now, and for the first time in a while I left off the
gnome unstable installation source as that was causing troubles. Thanks
for pointing that out Houghi. Yes Unstable means...Unstable...duh.

YAST --> System --> IDE DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA.

Hmmmmm.. ? Using 10.3 I see these modules:

Yast -> System:

1. /etc/sysconfig editor
2. Date and Time
3. Language
4. Profile Manager
5. System Restoration
6. System Settings
7. Boot Loader
8. LVM
9. Partitioner
10. System Backup
11. System Services (Runlevel)

No IDE Devices_Force_IDE_DMA or anything like that. Yast sees the disk as a
SATA drive so maybe I need to install the Yast module for SCSI drives (this
is /dev/sda). Perhaps me thinks but I'll wait until I finish the download
I'm doing now (1.2 GB remaining) as I've finally taken the time to go
through the entire alphabetical listing of available packages and
added 'some' of what I want...

Oh the joy !

Thanks.
