I suspect that this thread (or at least the above messages) is about YOU in SuSE 8.2. Right, wrong? (I haven't read the earlier messages). If wrong, I am not trying to hi-jack the thread.
If you are talking about YOU then I have to say that YOU in 8.2 is as useful as tits on a bull.
Three times now in the last 17 hours I have tried to update my installation and every time YOU gets to download the 2nd or 3rd patch - after grinding away for some time - the whole sheebang just terminates and vanishes off my screen! No explanation of why it terminated, not a damn sausage.
Don't want to add to your irritation, but I have to report it's working fine here. Hope you get it sorted, Best Fergus
Considering the stuffed YOU which was in v8.1 one would think that after all the months between 8.1 and 8.2 the problems in YOU would have been fixed. But no.
I am not going to waste any more (on-line) time with YOU but going to install fou4s which has worked flawlessly for me after I installed it on 8.1 months ago. Download and install one small RPM, get on-line, issue 2 simple instructions on the command line and the patch(es) are downloaded and installed.

I just don't have the patience any more to fool around with things which don't work properly straight away. I installed fou4s as I said I would, "fired it up", it took about 1 minute to download the lists of all the patches, and then in about 20 minutes I had my V8.2 updated - and all this on a 56K dial-up modem. YOU - no thanks. I used YOU when I was running v8.0 and was happy with it. But why should I hit my head against the brick wall when there is a perfectly good and more efficient substitute for YOU? Installs in 5 seconds, and it doesn't take long to initially type 2 commands on the command line: (1) fou4s - u --checkfou4s, and after the lists of any new patches are downloaded, (2) fou4s -i to download and install the patches themselves. What else can a body want? :-) -- Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. Pablo Picasso
