My experience with 10.2 has been just as full of update problems, and I haven't even done anything remotely weird with packman repos or anything. All I did was install from the DVD iso, pick most optional packages to install, then occasionally try to run updates.
I have no more 10.2 install here not for any problem, but only because I have a perfectly satisfying 10.1 and don't want to touch it. But I _did_ install _and_ update a 10.2, so I can speak of. What I want to say is that a great many people use 10.2 already, on many kind of hardware and are perfectly happy with it. So when you have a problem, the point is not thinking "10.2 is broken", but "what the heck have my install that makes me crazy" and, beleive me, this can happen (I don't speak only for you but for all the readers :-) So when reporting, it's important to give as many relevant info as you can. practically,two kind of problems arise: software or hardware and they are not easy to know what is one or the other. Personnally, I had dramatic problems with my test system (crashes). Some weeks after of testing it appears that it was a faulty hard drive. Changing the drive solved the problem (but no test did show this, neither the hd maker's tests) On your mail, only one thing made me react: "pick most optional packages". What does this mean? did you first install the default distro, update it and then go on? or select all in yast and go on? usually going step by step prevents problems... sorry to be long, but I see very long threads going left or right but with little efficiency :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
