It is. I just ran an update the other day and it bit me hard on a few things. Namely KDM was looking for something in pam-modules for 32bit package. When I installed I know I purposely did not pick any 32 bit packages, and I went through yast and saw A LOT of 32 bit packages installed too. I don't know why, but can confirm on opensuse 64 bit.
well, that's just weird since, as i mentioned, "rpm" showed *nothing* on the system that depended on any of those. since this is a play system, i'm tempted to just remove them all and see what happens. if the system falls over and dies, no big deal. i'll play with rpm a bit longer -- there must be *something* that's causing all those packages to be dragged in. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
