I switched it off.

Results:
Now Yast shows some installed, some not installed; as expected.

Now I am puzzled as to from where cameth the second line, because,
as a newbie there is no way I would have added this line (which I didn't
understand) by myself, and I don't remember anybody advising me to do so.
Nevermind, all fixed.

However, I must ask, during installation I did not request Perl (nor some
other stuff) yet some of it seems to be there.  Are these bits just
default installation?

And, since I have been installing rpm files, most of which seem to be seen
by Yast, do I need to "refresh" Yast in some way.  For example, Yast
cannot seem to see the canna libraries (unless it is under a different
name).

Do I always have to insert the installation disk (hope not) if I use Yast
to install an rpm?

Thanks fellows, I really appreciate your responses/practical help.
Colin
