NO. Really. Did you look at the last distro, 6.2? Full of ancient versions on the one hand, beta versions on the other hand. Sometimes when SuSE gets out some "updated" packages, newer versions of the software exist for months. (Tcl/Tk, DDD, gcc, apache, xemacs for example). 6.1 and 6.2 were really bad here. 6.3 looks more up to date, and would be worth buying if you like SuSE, 6.2 really wasn't worth the money.
Well, not *that* good article. If they give instructions like that, why don't they give generic ones? I stopped reading when they suggested making a bootdisk with "mkbootdisk".
I assume this is a Redhat app? Well, I don't care, I was running Redhat myself, now Mandrake, but they should have given instructions that work for everyone, e.g.
Or am I too picky here? I mean, okay, I learned something, I didn't know that my Linux would provide a "mkbootdisk", but many people not using Redhat would fail at that point.
"David Bowie's "contribution" to the opularization of electronic music stems from seeing bands like Kraftftwerk and Devo in 1977-79 and doing his best to reinvent himself and base his gimmick around the same idea. Neither band owes their existance to him in any way.. In Kraftwerk's case, they'de been doing it since 1969. in Devo's case, 1972. "
Where did he claim that those bands would owe their existance to him? Naw, he just said *he* was incfluenced by Kraftwerk. (And I guess Kraftwerk was backinspired by Bowie - see "Transeuropa-Express"). Okay, Bowie was later with elecronic music, I guess the best and first album really was "Low" from early 1977. But "The Man Who Sold The World" was already hinting in that direction, (Bowie mentioned "Saviour Machine" from that album), and it was released 1970. And fifteen years later or so, Nirvana gets to cover the title song from that album - you cannot deny many bands are still influenced by the early Bowie stuff...
If you're an America, then Bowie is scared of you as well...

/dev/fd0 /dev/(root partition) /dev/fd0 1

dd if=/whaterverkernel of=/dev/fd0
rdev
rdev -R

Sorry to have hurt your feelings with my unneeded posting then. I am too much of a Bowie-Fan to resist to posting lyrics. :-)
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
Oh, that's 25 years later, not 15 years... :-)
