A lot of confusion about Suse here. I installed Opensuse 10.1 in the past. The only thing you have to do is to get some additional sources for Opensuse: http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories Another thing to consider is to use smart as your package management tool as the new Novell Zen-Management doesn't work yet (it's new and buggy) - look here: http://wiki.suselinuxsupport.de/wikka.php?wakka=HowtoSmartPackageManager http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=Smart Hope this helps, Uwe _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
