O I would go one step further. Remove ALL REPOS EXCEPT for the main OSS and NON-OSS repos initially.
Use:
removerepo (rr) [options]
Remove repository specified by alias, number or URI.
Note you can type 'zypper rr 1 2 3 4 ...' where the numbers are the numbers you obtained with 'zypper lr'
and represent all of the installed repos. You can then LATER add back repos such as Packman if you want/need them for anything.
Additionally, I would add my install cd as a repo. Usually it is a device: /dev/sr0 though it may be different on your machine. If push comes to shove, you can copy the contents of the CD to a local directory and use the path to that directory as a local repo. From then on, you won't have to have the CD in the drive in order to use it for new programs you may want to add. I do this in case the internet is unavailable and the OSS/NON-OSS repos can't be reached.
Once you have your system back to some sort of reasonable operation, you can resume using Yast2 if you prefer a GUI interface. In the meantime, Zypper requires much less overhead and will work even if Yast is not even on your machine as it only needs its' library and rpm (and maybe a couple of other support files) rether than the whole of KDE or GNOME required to support a GUI interface.

I see your point Richard. I will do that what you suggested me to do later on. Just no I have installed 11.1 RC1 on another HDD. But I'll let the 11.0 HDD rest in peace and from time to time learn from doing :-) Many thanks Richard -- Med venlig hilsen / Best regards Erik Jakobsen eja@urbakken.dk Registered Linux user #114875 - http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
