Well, I think I fixed it - hopefully. I uninstalled the smart versions Yast2 installed and then installed per the susewiki instructions. Now I have /etc/channels and it's busy updating the contents. On Saturday 02 December 2006 17:17, Brett I. Holcomb wrote:

Based on some of the posts here and my experiences with Yast2 I'm looking at smart as an alternative. I run OpenSuse 10.1. I installed smart and the smart-gui using Yast2 (does it know it's training it's own replacement <G>). I'm looking at some of the docs on the susewiki and the smart site but have some questions.

1. Channels - supposedly there are some installed with smart but my /etc/smart directory has no files in and the complete source site given in the docs is unreachable - no such server. I can add these manually but isn't a file with default channels supposed to exist? I did find a /var/lib/channels directory - is this used instead.

2. The susewiki talks about additional channels like suse-kde. Where do I find them?

I'm hoping smart will live up to it's name and finally there will be a package manager that works <G>.

Thanks.
