We installed Suse 9.1 personal on my gf's comp for a while, and after two days switched it immediately back to slackware.. Its a very limited edition, with serious flaws. I strongly recomend you first retrieve SuSE pro 9.3 from a local suse mirror, and have another go.. Installed it recently on a laptop, works pretty good (for a suse installation) and has all devel tools too available with alot less biting your tongue.. (:

Now, PATH is a tricky one as its just a variable. So, to remove an entry, youll have to track down the file in which it is added, and remove that. In SuSE this might one helluva job, but its possible to find it with some good grep'ping.. (:

thanks for the info and advice......well, what i did is to bite the bullet and start the long process of installing gentoo from a stage tarball. i figure if i have successfully installed redhat 7,8, & 9; mandrake 9 & 10; suse 9.1; and knoppix i can do the gentoo. its what i want anyway, i just didnt want to spend a day installing. so far so good, almost done with emerge system. i'm sure i'll b back with more questions.
