ok, now that i am straightened about the thread hijacking bit, lemme take a 
shot at short sentences.
10.1 looks ok for the most part. i think the update issue is mostly solved and 
my lcd problem is corrected. some areas where i still have some problems are:
i have a very simple  samba server setup thru yast2, all connections and 
printers work except when i try to open up a shared folder in a windoze 
machine from 10.1, the connection is refused. the same windoze machines are 
accessible from a second linux machine, running 32 bit suse 10.0, so i figure 
it is the winbind service in 10.1. the command "rcwinbind restart" gives an 
error message  "winbind deamon not running, winbind pid exists 
in /var/run/samba". The windows connection service has been started in yast2. 
what am i missing?
another nuance is that  an rpm that has been downloaded to a local directory 
can not be installed thru yast any more. one must open a console and issue 
the rpm command, because yast "can't find" said rpm! 
yet another nuance is somewhat extensive disk access, escpecially when firefox 
is running. with 2gb ram available the disk should not be checked every 5-10 
seconds. any ideas? 
thanks,
d.
