Description A Nagappan 2005-08-19 09:02:41 UTC 
In two of my boxes, I'm unable to install in Graphical mode. I will attach the
hardware information of the both the boxes.

Issues because of this:
1. Unable to select the installation option like CD, NFS, FTP etc
2. After installing the complete set by default I'm always automatically logged
in with the normal user which I have created (I created only one user) and FVWM
window manager loads. I don't get gnome-session running. I need to change in
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager gdm to xdm and restart xdm. After doing this I
will get gnome-session running. At the time of installation I have selected only
GNOME packages for installation.

Additional info:
Both the installation I tried only with CD's and more over text based
installation happens from SuSE 9.3 onwards. But when I use NLD9 boot CD's, I
have an option to select the source location (FTP, NFS etc).

Do you want any other info, please let me know. I will try to provide them

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but try beta-4.

Verified with Beta 4, things are working fine on my PC. I haven't tried with
laptop yet.
