Whoops, I did that too. Tried to remove too much from a cut down system. Said OK to a few too many uninstalls. I got back, but it was a hassle. Mount up a copy of the Suse DVD. (Best to copy it into a directory wholesale.) cd <mountpoint>/suse You will find directories: i586, i686, noarch, setup, x86_64 Try: rpm -ivh i586/yast2-packagemanager-2.11.28-3.i586.rpm It will fail because of dependencies. Play with adding */<name-of-needed-package> to the list of RPMs. Eventually you will succeed. They you can gratefully fire up yast2:software add and remove software and it will do all this for you. michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166 No matter how much you pay for software, you always get less than you hoped. Unless you pay nothing, then you get more.

Hi Michael. Thanks for your reply.

Exactly the same procedure here :'(

Do you mean to copy the DVD to a directory ?. What means wholesale ?.
cd <mountpoint>/suse
You will find directories: i586, i686, noarch, setup, x86_64
Try: rpm -ivh i586/yast2-packagemanager-2.11.28-3.i586.rpm

Ok.
Eventually you will succeed.
I hope so. Indeed I do ;-)
They you can gratefully fire up yast2:software add and remove software and it will do all this for you.
That I also hope to be able to do. Erik J.

You could have used the "Repair Installed System" from the install CD/DVD to repair this. This way you would not have to reinstall just fix it. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge

Thanks Ken. I tried it, but it would not succeed. I cannot quite remember the problem. Erik Jakobsen
