Bryan, the rest of the thread make clear that inexperience played a role in the problems. Tom made some mistakes that he didn't know about, like including Factory repository that is pre-alpha, to install one package, but then you get all in that repository in your Software Management, and from there it is easy to make another mistake and update application to some pre-alpha code. BTW, giving opinion about openSUSE as Mandriva user is IMHO somewhat displaced on this list. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
