My first comment is to SuSE to reconsider their release practice.
I'd just reconsider your buying habits. I usually upgrade every other release. Not because I can't afford it but because it's a major PITA. If your not changing hardware every 6-8 months and need new drivers and what not then I wouldn't bother doing every release if you can't afford it. If you want to upgrade things such as KDE then they do release packages to do this. I was running KDE 3.1.1 on 8.0 before I upgraded to 8.2. I actually needed to upgrade to 8.2 because the drivers for my motherboards IDE controllers were not found in 8.0's kernel and I have absolutely no time to be compiling kernels and what not. So why not do an every other release purchase and upgrade. It's most likely more within your budget.
Two. I have 8.2 installed and downloaded the KDE upgrade RPM for 3.1.2 from SuSE's website. After I upgraded, yast2 will no longer exit gracefully unless I install something. It pops the 'Cancel all Changes' dialog and will never exit regardless if you press Ok or Cancel. Am I the only one? Also the nice colour user icons from the login screen dissapeared, being replaced with the traditional black face.
If you download the QT3 packages from /pub/people/mfabian/ then you will be able to exit YaST2 when the software module is invoked. This is a known problem and has been discussed to a great extent for the last month or so on this like. The RPM's in mfabian's directory fix this issue. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----------------------------------------------------------- The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other going in the opposite direction.
