[ILUG] dd/rawwrite for win2k ? And a new question about SUSE 7.3

[Wynne, Conor]

Oh yes I am... internal use my good man. Anyway, if its any good I'm
going to buy it anyway coz I hear the manual rocks @ 800 pages. 

Also stability is supposed to be a big thing with SUSE - according to a
few heads..

I suppose I wen't off SUSE when I ordered one of the free cd's (1 cd
only job) from some site or other. Everything was in German, even the
kernel messages. And it was one my first times installing ANY distro...

Ciao Bello,

--------------------
Well, I've only recently updated my notebook and my machine to 7.2 but
I'll
have 7.3 shortly so I'll see how it goes. I started using SuSE years ago
because at that time it was the ONLY distribution which had integrated
I4L
well because of course ISDN is very well established in Germany. I
continue
to use it because of inertia :-) and because I don't think there should
be
one uber distribution and because it's European, though of course
Mandrake
is too and it's very Red Hat compatible.

No, you'not, at least, not legally. SuSE haven't mad 7.3 ISOs available.
They've just (http://lwn.net/2001/1122/a/suse-7.3-ftp.php3) made a 7.3
FTP
tree available for those with big pipes (it's 6 GB) but there are no
ISOs.

7.2 professional was 7 CDs and I've no reason to suppose 7.3 will be any
less. Of course if you buy SuSE you get a DVD + all 7 CDs which makes
life
much easier if you have a DVD player (and makes life a total disaster if
you
bring the DVD and your DVD-free notebook with you to do some work :-( )
AFAIK RH have now copied the DVD idea.
