Well that was a long list, and I think the number I'm supposed to find
is the first one, not the second. I looked by scrolling, but I don't
see it. All the listings look like it's the kernel build date. Perhaps
I need to buy another disk drive and reinstall, and try to figure a way
to save the work that I've built up. And the programs I down loaded
before on my cable modem. It may not be hurting anything. It's just a
message that pops up in this little log that SuSE has.
