yeah, yeah, I am too grumpy I guess, but fooling around with basics can be anoying by times... actually I shouldn't have changed because everything was running smoothly.... but that's maybe the cause of going over to kde3.. piet Patrick wrote:

what surprised me is there isn't a readme file or whatever comming with the kde3 at the SuSe site where it 's saying beware: kdm problems! even though the entire net is scattered with mail of people having these problems. OK it is a challange in itself to sort it all out, but I know better ways of time-squandring. piet
----------------------------- piet, It may be because most of us did not have these problems. My install included the rpm manager package you spoke about and of course, YaST2 is part of all the installs, as you need that for administrative purposes. I had heard of some problems before I installed with KDE3, but experienced none that I remember, but I was also alerted to go get the online updates as well as the new packages available on SuSE's ftp site. You may not have seen or have been alerted, but as I said, I didn't have problems with the fresh install anyway.
Of course, it is challenging to use Linux, if it was not we wouldn't be using it! :o) That is part of it's attraction to users like us, but SuSE has made remarkable changes in their distro to help take some of the mystery out of it too!
