I installed suse 10.2 with gnome, openoffice & evolution - I thought it would be more stable [I come from kde]. The system is 32 amd, ide, usb [dvd, mouse] & dial-up I downloaded all of the available updates [through most of April] for 10.2 and started applying them to the installed system using yast2. - About a third of the way through the updates, yast2 would no longer do an rpm update, so I resorted to: rpm -Fv [freshen]; which works fine but has anyone had this `problem' where yast no longer will work to update using an rpm patch file? - On reboot I found myself with no sound and no usb [no mouse. no dvd, etc] - has anybody had this problem? I think I know the culprit - it is an update to yast2 = yast2-sound-2.15-1.1.i586 patch.rpm. Can somebody confirm or ? thanks, cheers, Serge -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
