Key Group; I decided last night to try a "Yast2 > Software Management" on this machine ($HOSTNAME=m1l). I deselected the Yast check dependencies every time box due to the time it takes. I selected what I wanted and hit "Accept". At that point Yast did a automatic dependency check. That is where the problem came up - Yast failed to return. It did after about 8 hours (last night to this AM) return an error stating that it was looking for "$HOSTNAME=localhost". It appears the variable $HOSTNAME is not being carried correctly. I have selected about 10 to 15 "Update Source" sites, Yast seems to be happy with networking the URL. It goes out and finds the URL and repodata plus subdirectories. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?
