No, configure with normal FHS prefixes (eg. --prefix=/usr |
| 9 |
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var ...) and pass the |
| 10 |
DESTDIR variable on 'make install'. |

Ah, BTW: first you'll should install a recent and clean toolchain |
| 13 |
completely. SuSE's toolchain packages are known to be broken. |

ACK. That's the first thing I do when some customer comes around with |
| 20 |
some SuSE box (especially those strange masshoster installations). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
SuSE is meant for people who wear suits and ties even when going to bed. |

It's probably nice for migrating Windoze people into the *nix world, |
| 24 |
but not for enterprise production systems ;-o |

The funny thing is, back in the 90's it had been a really good |
| 27 |
distro, back when people like Werner Fink and Boris Nalbach were |
| 28 |
in charge of the technical designs. That's long gone - 6.x already |
| 29 |
showed big signs of degregation, 7.x was ugly, beginning with 8.x |
| 30 |
totally unusable ;-p |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Take my advise: migrate to another distro. |
