If ncurse mode is the mode in which it draws a pretty blue background and little borders around stuff with ASCII art, then yes.
it is, but usually it starts with "yast", not "yast2" Memory usage
(gauged through free -m at least) goes up only 13MB when "yast2" is run from CL, but when the Software Management module is started (with a grand total of 0 repositories) then it uses 40MB, and with OSS and Update repositories, and trying to install a package it must use at least 53MB because some pretty terrible results ensue.
you seems really limited in memory :-( well... init's are not that difficult, better look at one script, copy it and try. of course on an hosted server this is not so easy jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

An easier way to determine who you are is to simply type 'whoami'

Even 53 MB is a small fraction of the memory on a recent desktop machine. How much RAM does this server have at its disposal? Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It's a rather cheap VPS and thus is only equipped with 128MB of RAM for me. As for zypper or zmd, rpm -qa | grep zmd gave no results and zypper sl said "bash: zypper: command not found", so it appears neither. --Jason -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So it appears they don't want customers updating their images, end of story - so they take care of all software installs and upgrades? Or are you stuck with the crippled subset of suse they give you?

mine have and have no problem, but I fear 128 is not enough for openSUSE 10.2 normal operation so, yes it is usable (really?) but await problems jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
