3.0 out of 5 stars
A very good book, not the 'authoritative' one...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Installing SuSE LINUX: The Authoritative Solution (with CD-ROM) (Paperback)
I purchased this book at the book store. The nice thing is that it comes with SuSe 6.3 CD. However, my reason for purchasing it was different. I already had a SuSE linux retail box and wanted to install it on my old pentium laptop (133 Mhz; MS-Office unbearably slow). I expected the book to cover laptop installation in detail. It does not. My laptop has a swappable floppy+cd-rom combination. (not hot-swappable)The BIOS is also incapable of booting from CD-ROM. The book doesnot even mention this case. I finally formatted the disk with the Windows95 setup disk, installed DOS drivers for the CDROM and used the setup.exe on the CD that came with my SuSE box. Apart from this, all the other sections appear to be good. My advice is this: Get the SuSE installation manual from someone or download the docs from the net. Particularly for a book devoted entirely to installing linux, I could not accept the lack of information.
