I normally leave X to install packages, but have been playing with some of the GUI tools lately as time permits. I haven't had KPackage (Package Manager) crash at all. In fact, it is kind of handy to use it to see where parts of packages got installed. But I have yet to be able to install anything off a mirror using Software Manager. Things install fine from any local source but just error out when installing directly off any mirror. I'll mess with it a little more and see if I can post some details, but I don't think this is PPC specific because Software Manager is a bit flaky on my x86 box. sharon
