Upgrading from 10.0 to 10.1 diddn't always give you a fine system. That's what i read on the suse linux newslists. Another thing was, that the new novell-zmd was badly broken. Now that it is updated most people reported that the problems went away. I didn't wait for the update for zmd. Instead i used the smart package manager. This is working much better, so i still use it. Look here for information on this: http://wiki.suselinuxsupport.de/wikka.php?wakka=HowtoSmartPackageManager http://labix.org/smart/faq I think if you install smart from the guru repository, you will get a channel-list with it. Link to guru-repos: http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories There is also a discussion on smart in german: http://de.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
