I was unaware that it even existed and would probably still be pulling out my hair trying to get 5.0 running if I hadn’t updated things.

The installation process still sucks: I have to run the same perl script as before, but it knows where to find my kernel build tree and how to work with it and the kernel modules don’t oops. I did a nice test install and played around with it and it’s a really nice piece of software.

The userland code is happy but you’d need to grab Petr’s drivers to get it to work. Joe did the right thing by trying to get a hold of the 5.5 beta because it works great with SuSE 10, as demonstrated by our internal testing and the experience of other beta testers. However, the website let us down and that really is inexcusable. At the Boston Summit, some people tried to grab the beta based on our nagging and ran into the exact same error; I ended up having to VPN in to our internal network and download the beta build directly and then scp it over to them. When I get into the office tomorrow, you can be sure I’ll be making a lot of noise about this. Sorry for the trouble; if people are still having trouble downloading the beta, please post a comment to this post.

I then searched a bit and found an interesting link in one of the support forums that referenced a Novell “Cool Solution” which, if step through, made the installation sort of “easy”.
