And now some more random results. Two more attempts at a clean install
of M3 give the same graphic problem at mid-install. Nothing wrong with
the DVD. Tried 11.2 and all OK until we get to the sound card
configuration and the installation seizes up. This is also a familiar
erratic symptom of 11.2 installations and may well go away with a repeat
install - I hope. These random installation problems have been going on
for years (as far back as SUSE 7?) so my money’s still on something like
non-initialised variables.

I did an update of all packages today. It was a massive 3 gig update but it worked out fine. M4 was installed and the graphic problems are gone. M4 looks really great

I’m also happy for you but, as I said before, it’s a matter of luck as
to whether it will install OK. I wonder if it depends on what sort of
mood Hal’s in? Was that a wise move to give a program that name? “Daisy,
Daisy . . .”
