Hi Folks,
I am extremely interested in using 2.0 on SLES 10 also.
I don't have a project for it yet, but it's only a matter of time until
I will, and I have tried to get it to go a couple of times in my lab
with SLES 10 sp1, but have had no success.
If there's anyone who has gotten it to work that would be willing to
share some of their knowledge, I would be more than happy to put
together a 'recipe' for it to share with anyone who is interested.
Best Regards,
--
