By the way sorry for hijacking this thread and I hope I just didn't drop and break the holy grail with my question ? :-)

Ahhh, install Suse. Not trying to a smart #$% I guess I just don't understand why people try and get stuff to work with these slightly off the beat and track versions of Linux. Please educate me, I can see just doing it for the challenge and not having a life factor. However, to read some of the comments posted by many on this list and seeing the trouble they've had had why bother. If you want to do all the cool fangled stuff, go with Suse/Opensuse, Redhat/Fedora. I mean won't it be easier just to take a vanilla kernel and make your own distro (insert your name) Linux. I guess distro to distro I don't see a lot of differences unless you are talking about a Backtrack, Knoppix-STD, and or Helix or other purpose driven distro's.
I mean if I want a lean mean distro I just don't compile everything plus the kitchen sink into it. I can get that with Suse or Redhat and 9 x out of 10 stuff works out of the box without me having to do anything.
