    Yast 2 configured everything fine. I did not use Yast 1, should I was
    unaware of that problem.

    ok... my Sparc 10 is up and running now with SuSE 7.0 -

    just a couple of notes since this is very much in development...

    1) SMP kernel install failed on my machine - finally went with standard 32-bit kernel and I was able to complete the installation.

    2) SILO configuration (Yast 1) is set up to look for /sbin/lilo instead of /sbin/silo - easy enough to fix running SILO after 'lilo' failure. Of course writing lilo.conf by hand isn't a big deal... but the problem is probably worth noting if you like Yast. I didn't check Yast2 for the same issue.

    3) eliminating 'pads' in doc series keeps initial 'minimal' install (83 packages) on 1st CD - helpful for an nfs-mounted /cdrom.

    - Jason
