Ok, so two upgraded machines, both show the same problem. When I start the YaST2 install/remove software tool, I am presented with a dialog with a few conflicts and dependency issues. It seems that no matter how I try to exit this dialog - ignore, cancel, etc. I end up in a loop. I get a new dialog box that says "Abandon all changes?" and my choices are "Ok" and "Cancel". Clicking on either of the choices brings the same "Abandon all changes?" dialog right back. Trying to close the Abandon dialog with the "X" keeps the dialog and brings up an identical one (only with a "2" in the title bar). Continuing to try and close with the "X" brings more and more of these dialogs up. Anyone have any suggestions? thanks! -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions

I had the same thing at home and was similarly annoyed with the lack of an apt repository. I have to shuttle the DVDs from home to work and back every day now... I did find that that package installation is fine using the ncurses YaST2, however. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+u6Ik+FOexA3koIgRAtFrAJ9Pzgr5eV8qi2ycPJKYAHZ9AOYiugCfVEcQ fYPD4buugHKVxcxdFjDl7Gc= =hb0y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If you have space left on your HD (a partition of about 3GB) just copy the binary rpms to it, run aptate from the apt4rpm(.sf.net) project and you'll have your own local (= fast) base repository :) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
