I upgraded overnight using the Linux Mag DVD of suse 9.3. Unfortunately on this low end machine it wiped out - like exterminated - xf4ce and there is no option to reinstall it. Bloody hell. FVWM is crawling like the proverbial caching stuff to disk where xfetc. could run evolution and firefox in memory at one time with little or no caching. How can I get xf4ce back? (or is it xfce4, can't remember now!). Anyway, nothing on a search for installable software under Yast brings up anything under variations of that. ISTR there was a suse rpm set someone had done for xfce4 ... does anyone know about this? Malcolm

Of course there is. Look at YaST for a start -- the eqivalent of hunting around that ncurses maze is: rpm -U ftp://somewhere.com/xfce4.foo.12434.rpm

How do you mean? You do realise that I am willing to spend a long time helping you setup FVWM if that's what you want? God knows, I've been using it for years.

See above.

You probably haven't setup YaST to look at the main suSE site for its packages list -- or it got hosed in the upgrade, or what have you. -- Thomas Adam ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!
