Hmmm...bummer. Is apt any good? I've been considering upgrading to 8.1 but haven't come up with a good enough reason yet. But I suppose that's a topic for a different list. -Allen
Well It certainly didn't replace yast's missing functionality, but It was alot easier to set up than I thought it would be. I just read the faq and tips on the website and most of my questions were answered. Be forwarned that although I had great results others have reported dificulties. I started with a Fresh Full install of SuSE8.1 and was willing to leave my computer running for a couple of days while the packages were downloaded (aparantly ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse serves its files through a straw). I allowed apt to do a full upgrade of my system although there are ways to have it do less, thus saving download time Good luck -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
