update with YaST2 broken
I installed from factory right after rc1 was announced. YaST2 is still quite broken in it. Instead of installing again, I want to update. Someone a short time ago here posted http://dev-loki.blogspot.com/2006/04/how-to-use-smart-with-suse-linux.html and I thought I'd try that. Following the directions "we have to remove the existing smart channels for 10.1", I got a lot of confirmation requests, all of which I answered yes to. I couldn't figure out from the man page how to do the upgrade, so I managed to install smart-gui using rpm. I selected update all, but that took a very few minutes, updating maybe a dozen or so packages. In /etc/smart/channels are the following: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187 Apr 13 22:24 packman-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-base-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 186 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-security-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-update-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165 Apr 13 22:24 suser-guru-gwdg.channel Is that everything that needs to be there? I can't believe something supposedly "smart" could find so few packages to upgrade, with YaST2 nowhere among them, unless I've missed something. Obviously I have.

That was me.

Yes, it asks for confirmation to remove the channels.

Try as above.
In /etc/smart/channels are the following: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187 Apr 13 22:24 packman-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-base-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 186 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-security-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Apr 13 22:24 suse-apt-update-gwdg.channel -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165 Apr 13 22:24 suser-guru-gwdg.channel
.channel files in /etc/smart/channels/ are not the ones that are
actually used by smart. Those are channel files included by the packager
(me) and that are proposed for inclusion the first time you run smart.
To show the list of actually configured channels, the command is
smart channel --show

Yes, it asks for confirmation to remove the channels.
So was I correct in answering yes to each one?

That's better. Nearly 2 hours and hundreds of packages to update is more expected.
