I am running Beta 6 on which I installed factory packages from Mar 16: rug zmd libzypp libzypp-zmd-backend zen-updater First when I do a "rug ping" I get: ZMD 7.1.1, Copyright (C) 2005 Novell, Inc. Started at 2006-03-17 06:41:01 (uptime: 0 days, 0 hours, 2 minutes) RSS size: 17568 Network Connected: Yes OS Target: SUSE LINUX 10.0 (i586) Module Name | Description -------------------+------------------------------------------------- Inventory | Software and Hardware inventory module for Linux NetworkManager | NetworkManager support Package Management | Package Management module for Linux ZENworks Server | SOAP methods used by a ZENworks server XML-RPC interface | Export ZMD public interfaces over XML-RPC This is different from what is on the http://en.opensuse.org/Examples_using_rug where OS Target: SUSE LINUX 10.1 (i586) when I do a rug service-add, it quickly gets to 33%, I can see from network activity that it is downloading, after a while net activity stops and it is parsing the data and taking most of the system resources. My question is whether it is totally caput, or is it just a hog and it actually finishes at some point? I have left mine for a few hours but it never moves from 33%. I also used the zen updater gui to add a service which I assume is just a front-end for rug, with the same results. My test machine is an AMD 1600 with 256Mb. Peter 'Pflodo' Flodin
