Hi, Vinay!
Thanks for your repy, yes I am too adicted to the apt-get stuff. :)
As for the second problem(mk_initrd didn't work), it turns out to be
that I did not have "tar" installed, the error message was quite
misleading. :( Anyway, after installed "tar", I was able to mk_initrd
and the system works well.
As for your suggestion on the 3rd problem, I am not sure it will work.
Yes in SuSE8.1, we have yast2 online update, but I doubt it will make
any difference. I have tried to do manually
# rpm -Uvh /path/kdelibs3_3.0.8_i586.rpm
but with the same result. Anyway, it is called unstable, so far I can
live without it. :)
Thanks again !
