YAST now working (solved)

Hello everyone: First, thanks to everyone who responded. I really do appreciate it. Second, I was able to successfully install Kopete using a terminal. YAST does work OK if I'm installing from the CD or DVD but not from the browser. One writer suggested:   I see this happen a lot when trying to install from the browser. In some cases, it's because there is an unresolved dependency issue and apparently YaST simply exits with no visible message when operating in that mode. In other cases, I've not found any specific cause, but the rpm will invariably install ok if downloaded and installed from the shell prompt with rpm -ivh Given my experience, I think he's right. Cheers, Mike
