SuSe 10

[latcarf]

I just finshed 3 long days of doing a new hard drive setup with Windows/Suse10. Windows was the hardest part because it was refusing to recognize the new unformatted SATA drive but I finally googled the topic to death.

All is fine so far... I used the Perfect Install here for SuSe9.3 thinking there can not be that much difference. I did have a couple hiccups and hopefully someone can provide some guidance. During...

Postfix With SMTP-AUTH And TLS I got this;

I'm still pretty much a newb w/Linux but it seems some addtional packages need to be installed maybe? Seems like FC4 took care of dependacies, is this a feature I will lose with SuSe?

No, but you used the SuSE 9.3 tutorial for SuSE 10, that's why you have these problems. You'd have the same problems on Fedora if you used the FC3 tutorial for FC4.
You should have tried this one: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0
It's for SuSE 10.0.

aahhh...

I have been using your main site http://falkotimme.com/howtos/ and didn't see a SuSe10 set up.

Can I pick up with this one after the basic install and start over without any issues from using the SuSe9.3?

The newest tutorials are always on HowtoForge. I haven't posted new tutorial on falkotimme.com for a few months now because it doesn't make sense to maintain two copies.

I'd continue with page 4 of the SuSE 10 tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.0_p4

I went ahead and gave it a shot figuring worst case I would have to reinstall.

I cannot get any additional Installation Sources to install. I tried yours first then went to the list. I keep getting the same error "InstSrc: E_no_intsrc_on_media" As I write this I am wondering if I shouldn't delete the Disk source then reinstall it after, the word "media" gave me that thought.

I tried Install Some Software also and could not get openssl-devel-32bit there or in MySQL. I stopped there realizing there is a problem somewhere. I don't know if it makes a difference but the SuSe I have is the Official version which I just bought last week. I assume this is supposed to be a "stable" version.

Did you use yast to install the packages?

Yes, but I finally figured it out. I was not giving the complete address. I am still not sure why the one you referenced would not work but when I clicked the link you gave and followed the path allthe way to the end "/inst-source" they worked.

I still had problems with this

yast -i findutils readline libgcc glibc-devel findutils-locate gcc flex lynx compat-readline4 db-devel wget openssl-devel-32bit

Yast could not find openssl-devel-32bit. When I removed -32bit if found and loaded everything.

So far so good. I still have some stuff to run but I think all should be well now.

I added openssl-devel-32bit to the tutorial last week because it's necessary for 64-bit systems; I didn't test then because I thought this package is available also for 32-bit systems, but it seems that it is not. So I have removed the package again from the tutorial.

no worry, thanks! cool you updated the HowTo also.
