Well i guess it's time to try apt,
Its not an either /or situation. You can happily use both.
because twice now i have tried to use YaST2/YOU to update my Suse 9.1 Pro (clean install on AMD 2.4g, Asus A7S333, 512 M ram, kern 2.6.4-52-deflt), and i end up with a hair-tearing mess where none of the YaST modules work,(they start & die in 20 secs), my mouse is jerky, etc. I tried two auto repairs (boot fm DVD) which seemed to do the right things but a mess remains! Prior i did successful NVidia & Modem updates ok. It goes bad with Suse YOU.
Have you tried the ncurses version (Yast via a command line)? Does it also not start?
Am back to sending this on Win98 and really sore at Suse's update farce.
Sorry to inform you, but there is an awful lot of us that do not have your problem with using SuSE's update tools. IOW, it is not SuSE's fault. You need to get out of the mindset of finding who to blame (nothing else is possible in Windows I know.) and instead finding what needs fixed. You have the freedom and power with Linux to even fix a programming error if need be. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
