- SuSE Linux 9.0 LiveEval
- =======================
-
- *****************************************************************************
-
- - boot/hardware problems
-
- If the linux kernel does not boot or there are other hardware related
- problems, it could be caused by the new ACPI code. Just turn it off
- using
-
- acpi=off
-
- at the boot prompt and try again. For more information about ACPI and
- SuSE Linux 9.0, see:
-
- http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/81_acpi.html
-
-
- - IDE RAID controller
-
- Do not use SuSE Linux 9.0 LiveEval on systems with a Promise IDE RAID
- controller. Linux has difficulties to recognize your Windows RAID setup.
-
- As long as you're using the Promise controller as a normal (UDMA) IDE
- controller, there are no problems, however.
-
- *****************************************************************************
-
-
- To use the SuSE Linux 9.0 LiveEval CD insert it into your CD-ROM drive and
- boot from it.
-
- The installation program will look for free space on your first hard
- drive ('C:') and create these files:
-
- suselive.swp: a swap file; only if you have less than
- about 160MB main memory
- suselive.usr: this will be your /home directory
- suselive.900: the current configuration
-
- If the installation program does'nt find enough free disk space your
- configuration will not be saved. This means, you'll have to go through the
- setup procedure every time you boot this CD.
-
-
- NVIDIA and 3D hardware acceleration
- -----------------------------------
-
- As you cannot update any RPM, it is not possible to install the 3D
- hardware accelerated X server from NVIDIA's website using this
- LiveEval CD.
-
-
- Have a lot of fun...
