Thanks guys, Michael & Graham, For telling me things I already knew! Except maybe for the screensaver thing. I thought someone from SUSE on another list said QT3 .119 fixed this, but guess not.
If you knew that the supplementary repositories are provided as an extra then it makes your posting to the mailing list complaining about an issue with them doubly worse. In fact it seems downright rude and inconsiderate.
Next time why not try this instead
"Thanks for going out of your way to provide us with extra updates. I appreciate the extra time and effort you have gone to in providing us with these extra packages.
By the way there seems to be an dependancy issue with package foobar-x.x.x.rpm, how would you suggest i resolve it?
keep up the good work and thanks again!"
But then again I see you whining on the other lists too, perhaps as you say on those lists it *is* time you move to slackware, I'm sure they will be more tollereant of you whines on their lists, not.

Nice bashing Graham! Jumping on me about what's wrong with SUSE 10.1 will certainly go a long way in making them aware of the problems many have experienced with it. If you prefer to have many things broken and can live with them, by all means, more power to you! If you had read my mail, you would have seen I wasn't "whining" as you lovingly put it, as much as I was trying to make someone aware of further problems with 10.1. 10.1 is/was not right and someone had the boneheaded idea to put it out anyway. Bad decision on someone's part, but they'll eventually get things fixed, fortunately Linux is that way, it can be fixed. We might have to wait until 10.2 or 10.3 before we see it, but it will be fixed. Enjoy your broken Linux for now and if sucking up to Novell/SUSE gets things fixed any quicker for you, let us know. regards, Lee --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
