Well i guess it's time to try apt, Its not an either /or situation. You can happily use both. because twice now i have tried to use YaST2/YOU to update my Suse 9.1 Pro (clean install on AMD 2.4g, Asus Have you tried the ncurses version (Yast via a command line)? Does it also not start? Sorry to inform you, but there is an awful lot of us that do not have your problem with using SuSE's update tools. IOW, it is not SuSE's fault. You need to get out of the mindset of finding who to blame Joe Morris
Well i'm no expert nor a programmer but i started with a Vic20, CBM128, OS/2, Win, SuSE 8, SuSE 9.1 etc, so i have some experience, and i expected at least a goof-proof update from Suse, not some geek-only morass. I know lots about M/S stupidity and Linux' configurability & strengths. Far as i can tell i followed all instructions but went from a good, older 9.1 to a nightmare system with too many problems to even name. So i asked Why? I have in the past respected your helpful advice to others, but i DON'T need some GD lecture on what i'm doing wrong or that i'm trying to blame others for my own stupidity. I said what i did try, all as per SuSE advice, so i was frustrated as to why it all went so wrong. You call your attitude helpful? I'm outta here. Thanks anyway, BrianB.
