Last night, I installed APT. I followed the instructions for a client
installation, which included:
apt-get update
apt-get check
"This will make sure that you have no unresolved dependencies between installed
packages. If it complains, that this is not the case, try:" (it did)
apt-get -f install
After I did this, I saw a whole bunch of files deleting before my eyes..
KDE didn't work anymore. I couldn't even open a shell. Nothing worked but my
mouse.
Went to the SuSE database, and found the instructions to delete Lilo and
uninstall Linux. There're both gone now.
