[Sderby] Open Office and Suse and various problems

[astraguy]

Hi Tony,
I have suSe now working ok including  Open Office and my modem 
I have been online tonight with SuSE and updated my software ,
I have updated my star office from 5.2 to 6.00 and the updates 
work ok ,I have not had any problems after sorting out the boot 
up problem,I have also loaded some more third party software 
without any problems ,It seems very strange that you find the 
system slow mine is ok but I do have 120 gig hard drives ,
maybe that is your problem with not having a lot of space 
on your hard drive.
cheers Mike
