I just wanted to disable the on-line updates and reinstall Wine from the DVD but Yast won't do as it keeps finding another process accessing the repositories. Maybe because I had to abruptly reboot by hardware reset button as Yast won't leave the loop of trying to download from the faulty repository. I will get a new computer and install Windows on this laptop in place of SuSE. I regret saying that but this situation is unbearable . I think the only way to get out of this impasse is to reinstall SuSE without overlapping the /home partition. ... I have back-ups but reinstalling every application again implies too long. Please, instruct me how to do that. Thank you very much, Maura Edelweiss M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
