Suse (finally) running
It didn’t come by itself, but at this moment,, SUSE 10.2 is up and running on Iona – a laptop I used for work previously. A few hicks and kinks, though. I leaned quite quickly that the on-board video card does not support 3D acceleration, required to do all sorts of funny things with video. The system did start but the graphical engine crashed. I found out I could start the configuration program from the command line and was able to restore the settings back to no accelleration and no funny tings (it did work but way, way too slow), and ended up with a resolution of 1600 x 1200, and I originally had 1280 x 960. Ok, that’s no big deal, just a bit hard to read….
Next, some settings are a bit different from version 10.1 – and had to be tweaked, but at this moment it’s doing it’s work.
Then only nasty thing: DHCP won’t get it an address so all network configuration is fixed. This needs to be solved one day, but for the moment, it looks gooed.
Web development
gets on. The new structure is forming slowly, but by and by the existing travel diaries are added to the /Travels entry. Scotland is finished but the pictures need to be added as well. Once all is in place, I’ll publish it all.,
