A lot of the gnome2 stuff on SuSE's ftp apparently requires 'filesystem' which I can't find anything that provides.
filesystem is what used to be aaa_base and some other stuff. It sounds like you are trying to install 8.1 packages on a version < 8.1, that won't work.
The 8.1 packages from supplementary won't install on an 8.1 system either. The dependencies are wrong.
Seems like this is one of those times when it is simpler to build everything from source. Rpm's are nice, but compiling from source seems to yield applications that are faster and more stable anyway. Also, building GNOME2 using gcc 3.2 is really nice. Great thing to do is to export CFLAGS="-march=yourcpu". I have lately been building everything with 3.2, and I must say that I am impressed. Kevin
