Of course you can. You don't need a configured X server on the remote box, you just need to have the X libs installed.
What is the SuSE way to verify what is installed? In other words, ssh'ing remotely into this box, how can I know whether or not X libs are properly installed? I ask this, because Ben's suggestion: ssh -X user@domain does *not* work -- I get in; but, *no* X ;<
Besides, according to this: <http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/yast2_ncurses.html> Using YaST2 in Text Mode, I should be able to do this from cli and ncurses ;<
Yes you can.
Then, as per my original post, *WHY* this? /sbin/yast2 online_update Starting download of patch descriptions from ftp.gwdg.de. Connected error_path Disconnected Can't get patches from server. Please try to get patches from another SuSE ftp server. -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
