the thing is, that i saw someone a few days ago, with OpenSuse 11.3 search for mosix in Yast--Software---Software Management, and he could find mosix there.

so i dont understand why i cannot do the same thing.

maybe i dont have an online repository in my list or something?

software.opensuse.org: Search Results

I'm not sure.
Your menu.lst is interesting, but it doesn't show me what I thought might be there.
Sorry

Sorry

just now, i downloaded a new version of mosix, from here:
MOSIX evaluation copy

and installed it.
Now the mosrun command is recognized in terminal.
So it seems that mosix is now properly installed.
thanks for all the help
