Didn't install YaST2.

Could be lilo....Sounds as though youe combed through the packages to find the issue. Perl is used for things like amavis etc, could try removing it as yast will complain if you are removing something that is needed. Matt

I worked out the package dependencies for X by removing the package (despite YaST's complaints), and then running rpm --verify. For some reason, YaST 1 doesn't seem to want to tell me which package depends on the one I want to remove (although this feature was there in 6.3/4). It just tells me that there is a dependency on the package. I don't particularly want to remove the package to find that the system doesn't work at all, and I have no way of re-installing it... -- David Smith Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 (direct) STMicroelectronics Fax: +44 (0)1454 617910 1000 Aztec West TINA (ST only): (065) 2380 Almondsbury Home: 01454 616963 BRISTOL Mobile: 07932 642724 BS32 4SQ Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk

Perl is used by the SuSE configuration scripts I believe. Which ones is anyone's guess. ..as I tried to demonstrate in my previous email, "ldd" shows you the dependencies. The way to do this "properly" is to make statically linked binaries of the things you need, that have dependencies on libraries other than those in /lib. This may take some work... No fundamental system program should have a dependency on an X11 library, since X11 is optional anyway. If this kind of dependency does exist then the person who created such a dependency should be crucified, slowly. -- Regards Cliff

Don't think so, it would be ludicrous if they did... And here is the evidence .. da-da..
