    Hi, Jim

    The best solution is to look through mailing list archives at SuSE.com.

    You find that there is an issue with 6.3 and X. KDE (anything that uses
    QT) won't work and GTK will work but the widget text is all wacky and you
    can't read it. This is because some parts of the distro were compiled for
    a only for the next generation chip after the one (21064) in the
    Alphastation x00's.

    You may also find that your scsi adapter is not supported by the kernels
    available for selection during the installation process. Install
    everything and then use the boot disks (make floppy's for the least amount
    of hassle) to start a system. You then copy the vm_full.gz kernel from
    /etc/ (? ) on the first CD rom to your boot partition and go.

    This has been fixed in 6.4 (an evaluation iso image) is available at
    http://www.alphalinux.org and at the SuSE ftp site.

    All the detail can be found in the archive.

    Enjoy the hack.

    Justin

    Hi,

    I just subscribed to this list a couple days ago.

    I am looking for links, etc. for installing SuSE 6.3 Alph on
    a AlphaStation 200.

    Thanks!
