gEDA-user: A bleat for SuSE CDs

[sdb@xxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Brorson)]

Hi Guys --

Since SuSE has turned out to cause such a problem for the gEDA Suite
Install CD, I have decided to take one of my spare machines and load
it up with SuSE 9.3 to create a test platform for this and future
versions of the gEDA CD. 

I am trying to download SuSE 9.3 from the Novell site, but it is very
slow going and I am not sure I will get a complete, flawless download
as quickly as I would like. [1]  Also, I would like to get a copy of
exactly the same distro which seems to fail for people.  (I assume
it's the free download version from the website, but perhaps the
corporate  users are using a "physical media" edition?) 

Therefore, I would very much appreciate it if somebody reading this
list could send me a spare SuSE 9.3 install CD set.  Ideally, it
should be the same install set as was used when creating a system
on which the gEDA CD fails.  Perhaps one of the corporate users
has some duplicate disks laying around?  I probably won't return the
CD (unless you are  located close to me), so don't send me any disks
you need.  Also, if you do mail me disks, I won't reimburse you --
please consider it a "donation" to the cause.  Mailing CDs is cheap
anyway, and supporting free software is worth a couple of bucks,
right?  :-)

Finally, I probably won't get around to doing the testing for a couple
of weeks due to more pressing activities, but I will certainly get to
it within the month.  Therefore, please don't expect instant results.

If you're still game to donate a SuSE CD set to "the cause" even under
these conditions, please e-mail me at 

sdb (__AT__) cloud9 (__DOT__) net

and I will supply you with my mailing addr.  Thank you in advance for
your support and kindness, and thanks for helping out with gEDA!!! 

Stuart

[1]  I am doing the d/l at my day job, and our Internet link can be
very slow.  Also, I suspect that Novell has the connection on their
end throttled back so that it's not too easy to get a free CD.
