Cristian, would you be so kind to show some examples of how "smart is broken enough"? And how zypper is better? Yes, I see zypper improving over the time, but still smart works better for me on all my opensuse machines (excluding the one-click install, which I do not use anyway). -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap.

This is a 10.1 system...which has not been updated once since 10.1 was installed (in September 2006 in a tent out in the middle of the Iraqi desert) ...because I can't.

I should have 10.3 on this system in a couple of days -- then I'll be happy.

yes, zypper/yast (whatever it is called) seems to be fixed more or less enough on 10.3 to abandon smart for the most part. It still isn't as quick in searching packages and doesn't update without a few tweaks (removing the auto-update when opening YaST and incorporating a cron job to update when you're not trying to do something else) but it works. In fact, this laptop doesn't even have smart.

that is a cool trick. I wish it were more prevelant and smoother. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
