Re: [LUG] SUSE 8.2

[Keith Abraham <keith.abraham@xxxxxxxx>]

	Yes very curious that SuSE have withdrawn
	the Nvidia driver. I hadn't realised that until you
	pointed it out. If I remember correctly a KDE
	update I made some time ago is also missing.
	I wonder why. 

	Incidently most people don't seem to realise that
	under SuSE 8.2 you can use Konqueror 
	(as a browser) to download and install rpms.
	It even reports any dependancy failures.
	Of course it's not so powerful as YOU so it
	doesn't do any configuring.
	Also I think I remember someone on the www
	said it will even install sources. However I haven't
	tried it.
