Hi,

I've been a SuSE fan since 7.3. In 9.2, I had to compile myself the Qt library 
to be able to use French or Spanish accents in Lyx or in KWord, & -in order 
to be able to use my Philips ToUcam- I had to compile myself the pwx module  
(take a look at http://saillard.org/linux/pwc/files/pwc-10.0.6.tar.bz2). When 
I found out that I couldn't burn CDs -not even as root- , I went back to 9.1, 
in which I could: I do not know why, I could no longer. As I avoided apt-dist 
upgrades, I did have accents, but -obviously- no webcam.
Enough being enough, I'm out -and in into Mandrake. My Philips ToUcam  worked 
out of the box. Yes, I had to buy the boxed version: downloaded isos are for 
free, but then you'd have to burn them...

Regards
