Hello,

I have been trying to load SuSE on my machine.
Details are as follows:

Tyan tiger 133 dual PIII 700's

1.5 GB RAM

4-20 GB IBM DTA HDD' (set as IDE)

Asound Gold ISA card

generic 24X CD-ROM Drive

ATI Radion Rage Pro graphics accelerator W/ 34MB of onboard RAM

EMC 21" high end monitor (that I don't have the drivers for.)

Epson color stylus 600 printer

Logitech Quick cam

HP colorado 8 GB Tape backup

Here is the issue I am having:
I blew away the Windose 2000 server that was running AD and was an DFS on Raid 5.

When I loaded SuSE I got to a screen that was to configure x11.
I set the video card to generic and at the next screen set the ram to 3400K.

I cannot find my monitor in the list that SuSE gives so I picked settings that are close to what I use.

KDE or Gnome will not load.
I used YasT2 to reconfig the X11R6 file but this got me to a loop detailing that I need a virtual link to my /usr/bin directory from the /var/bin directory.

I made the limnk and it directly went back into the X11R6Configure file and started again to get me into this mad loop.

I blew away the SuSE install and re-loaded Windose 2000 Server to get back online "as I am a newbee at UNIX and it's commands."

I humbly ask these questions.
1. What would be the easiest way to install this SuSE server package?

(I am willing to get a-whole-nother graphics card and monitor if this is what is causing all the issues. )

2. Is getting a Sun Microsystems unit for this install worth the cash layout?

Thank you in advance.

defaultdomain

DEFAULTDOMAIN(5)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						  DEFAULTDOMAIN(5)

NAME

       defaultdomain - file which contains the NIS/YP domain name

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/defaultdomain is used by the boot scripts to set the NIS/YP domain name for a system as returned by the getdomainname(2) function. The
       file contains one line with the name of the domain.

       Unlike DNS hostnames and domain names, the NIS domain name is case-sensitive! The NIS domain name must not be the same as  the  DNS  domain
       name, but for some services like NIS+ it should be the same.

       Even if the domain name is often called NIS/YP domain name, it is also used from other protocols, not only NIS/YP.

FILES

       /etc/defaultdomain /etc/init.d/boot.localnet

SEE ALSO

       domainname(1), init.d(7), init(8), nisdomainname(1), ypdomainname(1), ypbind(8), ypserv(8), ypwhich(1)
