1) I installed Storix Desktop and did a full system backup. 2) I installed BackupEdge. Trying to create a full system backup corrupted my hard-drive (Couldn't even boot up!). 3) I said, ok, lets give the Storix software a chance to recover my system. 4) Storix recovered it, but I had no keyboard and no mouse unless I booted up with the SuSE Installation CD. My Samba wouldn't come up and I couldn't get a network connection. 5) I restored my machine with YaST and have been trying to re-install the ton of security patches that have come out. For some reason, SuSE doesn't completely restore these (I believe it's because of some YOU patches that came out along the way). 6) I keep getting errors trying to recover. I tried to eliminate the packages that were failing so I could try to only hit the server with the few that remained. 7) I guess there were some dependencies that I wasn't aware of, so that trashed my system again. Back to step 5) and start over. 8) I back to trying to restore my packages. Since I don't know what the hell the dependencies are, I have to do all each time (I'm only doing one each day, overnight, to try not to impact the folks who are working 9.3 problems). Greg Wallace
