kirun's Journal: SuSE 8.2

Just got SuSE 8.2. Nice to see YOU now has an automatic checker, and progress meters. Shame they don't work for third-party addons (like the proper NVidia drivers).

Also, it helpfully detected my scanner, and offered to set it up, without first checking it had a driver. It doesn't currently (it's in SANE CVS apparently). This could confuse users - it shouldn't ask unless it knows there's a driver. People are smart enough to try setting up manually, anyway.

These are minor points though. Overall, the upgrade was more or less pain-free, and you keep spotting neat little fixes. If you have 8.1 on your system and are wondering about making the jump, do it.
