To ALL: First, I wish ALL guru's or othewise being an authority on all of this, would get together on whether to top or bottom. Bottom, but not just bottom, but trimmed to only what is necessary for understanding quoted, with replies underneath in a conversational style, meaning bottom. It is a waste of bandwidth to fully quote and either bottom or top post. This has been instructed on this list for at least 6 years (since I began). It makes the flow much easier to follow and more manageable. I am staying with SuSe 9.2 Pro as I am tired of the constant upgrade grind, and have NOT gotten full use out of it, yet! That is fine. It is your choice. It may be right for you in your situation, but certainly does not fit everyone. I enjoy the features and even the challenges of a new version, prefer to stay more up to date on the software I use (there must be reasons, i.e. bug fixes, that software is updated), etc. I think 9.3 is the best so far, even though
For instance, how to untar a tar or tar.gz, many have tried to give me directions over the computer and I do enter the outline as shown, yet SuSe keeps coming up either with "NO SUCH COMMAND" or freezes after I press the enter key after entering the info as directed! I must admit, I use Konqueror to untar, since it is so easy to use. Right click on the file, and choose extract to. Linux is all about choice, usually providing 10 ways to do anything. Just choose the one you prefer. The really ironic part is it will not "take" an rpm, which I downloaded and tried to install and which YAST states it has, yet absolutely NO SHOW! If you mean you used the yast install part of Konqueror, I found it did not work in 9.2 for me. I just used Kpackage, which worked as expected. Since I made a different choice, I also made sure to always run ldconfig and SuSEconfig afterwards, since this is automatically done by Yast but not by Kpackage. I am a college grad and a Vietnam Vet with 100% disability, and thereby hangs a tale of itself! :-( Agreed. I understand a bit more. Hope you understand attacking SuSE on

We all use SuSE by our choice, and are more interested in making it even better by any help we can offer rather than making things even harder for them as a company, or for the employees who I am sure have given much more than they have received. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Registered Linux user 231871
