nautilus-script-collection-svn (svn integrated in the file manager menu of gnome, which is the one ubuntu uses -> rightclick)
I think I'll try that, I use TortoiseSVN on Windows which is integrated into the Explorer Shell.
My DVD burner is behaving badly again, so I'm going to try the Ubuntu installer, since it's 1 CD, rather than downloading the 5 CDs for SUSE at this point, I wanna get it up and running tonight.
Well, Ubuntu didn't work. I tried booting off the CD and it just sat there for 10 mins cycling through a 10 second repitition of reading CD then hard drive.
I'm copying the SUSE ISO over to my laptop which has another DVD burner on it and will try burning SUSE onto another DVD.
EDIT: NM, laptop is just a DVD reader, damnit. I'm gonna have to copy the ISO across wireless to wifes computer
Burnt the Suse DVD ISO on my wifes computer, install was started and a open-suse-doc something or other package failed, and the whole installation aborted.
Tried Ubuntu again from CD, threw error and told me to reboot.
Download Suse individual CD ISOs and will try them, this is rather a pain in the ass
i once experienced the same problem with an ubuntu cd as you (endless spinning drive) - it turned out that the dvd drive was damaged (it was at a school computer).
Can't get network working
I'm kinda pissed, it doesn't install emacs
Network card is wireless, Linksys WMP54G PCI. It detects it as a Ralink2500 chipset, but cant connect it to wireless network, with Open network or with WEP Shared Key network.
Anything obvious i'm missing as far as wireless network card support? I've got everything configured properly in Network Manager, can't even get IP address, let alone get on internet.
Well, finally, I'm on Konqeuror website now, Firefox won't work, keeps saying it's working offline.
At least progress, had to download a driver and do a make, make install and then reboot to get it working, havent tested it yet with WEP or any other encryption
Except for the two variables which were missing in rev 390 everything worked so far, and rev 391 fixed the variable thing. Please show the compile log. Maybe you're missing the X11 dev packages?
I never used WLAN cards with Linux so far, but there are several firmware downloads possible vie the Online Update. They cannot be installed from CD/DVD because the binary drivers cannot be legally distributed with Linux distros. But automated downloads are possible. Thus you have to use the online update for several such things. Of course this means to connect wired for the first time.
On a sidenote a very nice linux I ran into is Slax Kill-Bill edition. Its actually based on slackware but very easy to use and comes custom built to run windows programs (Hence killbill ). Another very nice thing is the package system called Modules (Not the normal linux modules) that are like rpms but install on the fly and I dunno what it was but they seemed very user friendly. Only problem is that it is ment to be a live cd linux and the creator is sort of against installing it to harddrive, although there r plenty of how-tos on it.

rev 392 i just got fixes the missing variables in CIrrLinuxDevice.
Other problems( which I don't see on Windows version of Irrlicht SVN were things like quaternion operator* declaration had the class qualifier before it, was like that for some other classes as well. When I just looked on my windows box, I didn't see the code like that, don't know why it was like that on the Linux side, very weird. There were honestly too many compile errors to list, I'll go through them again tonight, maybe.
I'm kind of sick of Linux for the week already....
