I updated my newer 64bit machine, all of which have a DVD reader, and that has gone very smoothly. Today I tried to update the first of the 32bt machines, and it is a disaster. I have spend 4 hrs waiting and clicking and I am getting nowhere The machine is a server; no Gnome or KDE, with CD. Rather old (500MHz, 512Mb Pentium III). When I try to update it gets to the analysis and requires a manual intervention for some packages (including ALSA and other core stuff to me). It takes ages to check dependencies and I can resolve the things it throws up, until I get a timeout while checking dependencies. I can double the time, and double the time .... but it never resolves, and so I cannot continue with teh installation. How do I get out of this circularity? I have a range of other 32bit machines, but do not dare try after the current experience. ==John ff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
