Punch the keys

Found some help on Nvidia and Beryl... Nvidia - http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA Beryl - http://en.opensuse.org/Beryl Hope my hardware is supported and works... Tomorrow I try some fancy stuff.

I have been tinkering around with the installation I did in the morning, and did something wrong. My session would not start. I tried lots of stuff and could not get back on track.

I tried it quite a few times on Saturday (25 Aug) but failed to load because of a problem with the package check. It said that the integrity check on some files on the DVD failed. On Monday(27 Aug) I got my hands on another copy of the DVD, which unfortunately is giving similar errors. So I copied the DVD into an iso and wrote it onto a blank DVD. Surprisingly, this DVD carried on with the installation without much of a problem. In fact right now, the base installation is done and I am on the "Online Update" section of configuration. An advice to anyone who is trying to install openSUSE. There is an option to skip the section "Online Update". Please use it . I finished all the...
