<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm new to Linux having got sick of Win XP. Bought
SuSe because the ease of installation (according to the adverts).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First problem I encountered was it couldn't
partition my drive because it was a Maxtor and had been set up using
their</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>utilities. I had to reformat it using the low
level? quick format Maxtor utility and then it installed.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I managed to get the printer/scanner (Epson CX3200)
working and my Digital camera and card reader.</FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The one big problem </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>I'm having is that I cannot get my broadband working, I think it's
because I can't get the drivers to load. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The pci card is listed </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>but no driver. I have read the instructions for installing the linux
drivers and many HOWTOs, but just get lost.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have no grounding in programming or
linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not even sure what it is classed as, on the
box, MegaSpeed ADSL PCI Modem, is it (a) a modem (b) dsl (c) network
or a</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>combination of all these?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It works in Windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be appreciated</FONT></DIV>
