This past weekend I used YOU to update all four of the SuSE 7.3 machines on my network. Everything seemed to run to completion without error during the download and install phases. However, once YOU had finished, I logged root off, logged in as my regular user and launched KDE2 which was one of the packages updated by YOU. The instant the mouse pointer touched an icon on the desktop - the entire desktop crashed. The only exit at that point was Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc to kill the X server. This was true on all four systems, for all users including root. I finally gave up trying to determine just what was wrong and re-installed kde2 from the SuSE CD's, but I would really like to know what went wrong and how to avoid the hassle in the future. Plus, I'd like to ensure that future YOU updates don't cause a similar problem in other packages. JimW
