Hello SuSE gurus,
Since my last episode with Kdar, I have decided to try Mondo -Mindi again. Tried to download them with apt-get. Mindi installed without a problem. Mondo came up with a bunch of dependencies which it said were not installable, like afio, etc. ???? Hmmmm....Why ???? I assume both packages must be installed to be of any use.
That's the problem of Apt, and not the system as far as I can see. All the packages such as afio, newt, slang, need be installed. If apt won't do it, I can't tell you what the problem is. I don't use it. I also don't know where working versions can be downloaded with apt.
Now that being said, which version of SUSE are you using? Reason I ask is that mondo/mindi is included with 9.3. If you are trying to install on another earlier version, I suggest going to my site, and downloading the rpms that I rolled. They work here, and I've not heard of others having problems with them.

OK Mike,
First of all am using 9.2 64 bit with all updates. Visited your site and found that I could meet all the dependencies from my 9.2 DVD. (Duhh...) Installed newt, afio, syslinux, etc. from the DVD. Wasn't an apt-get problem. Didn't see a 64 bit version on your site. (Maybe I didn't look hard enough) I tried apt-get again and I was able to down load the 64 bit mondo from Joe Morris's repository with apt-get and install it. Seems to be installed and might work. Don't understand the process though. Is there a howto for the procedure?
OK.. Sounds good. As for a howto, the main site has documentation, and I'd guess a howto. It's not that hard once you figure out the command line. I don't have 64 bit up because I don't have a 64bit machine yet. Soon, I hope but even that's still a wish.. ;-) Mike -- Powered by SuSE 9.3 Kernel 2.6.11 KDE 3.4.0 Kmail 1.8 For Mondo/Mindi backup support go to http://www.mikenjane.net/~mike 4:48pm up 6 days 0:50, 5 users, load average: 2.08, 2.21, 2.21
