I probably missed the distinction between 10.0 and 10.1 in the apt repositories. I have 10.0 and have been updated from apt repositories. Could someone give a clue as to the difference? Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26

I'm not sure I understand the question, but if it is how to check which repo you use - check in /etc/apt/sources-list file. Every repository is on a line starting with rpm. This line contains a server name, directory and the components you use. Check that your directory is for 10.0, and not for 10.1. Cheers -- -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny)

Let me try again. I have 10.0. The apt repositories have 10.0 and 10.1. What is the difference, if any, between the 2 SuSE versions? Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26

Well for one thing 10.1 has not been officially released and is in beta. What would you think the difference is between 9.2 and 9.3? Newer packages and kernel would be two. If you need to have exact differences check www.opensuse.org. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Actually, I did check opensuse after Patrick pointed out. It appears that 10.1 is still alpha. Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26

To add to that the 10.1 beta does not include apt neither as far as I can see are apt sources for 10.1 available from http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ As I understand the position the last version of SUSE to include apt is 10.0 and 10.1 is moving to Smart, which is included in the latest beta. I know this because I've installed it. Mike

That is really sad. I tried Smart and it is nowhere as user friendly as APT. I couldn't tell if a version listed was installed or was an upgrade. APT with synaptic is so easy. Ed Harrison, Registered Linux User #199533 SuSE 10.0, Kernel 2.6.15 PolarBar Mailer 1.26

I like smart much better, YMMV

it really depends on the command you used.... if you said smart upgrade, then all apps listed are.... WOW! upgrades! Normally I do the same as I did for apt, smart update ( to update the sources), then smart upgrade. if I want to INSTALL an app, I'll use smart install app_name I haven't had NEAR the problems with dependencies that I had with app! -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800

That is the one thing that needs to be changed. Add an additional column showing the installed version along side the available version, whether the available version is older or newer. That can't be that hard to program into smart or provide as a user defined option. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

similar to the distinction between 9.3 and 10.0 or 9.2 and 9.3.... -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2
