Thanks man, I'll give it another shot. SUSE and Slackware are my two absolute fav distros so I'm not calling it quits over this, I love them both and use both and ONLY those. They do what I need and more. So if it fails again I'll give those commands a shot. I used to be the one helping others on here back when it was 9.0 and 10.0 and now I've been so busy I've started getting rusty with UNIX lol. Reason is, well, I got Married, and I'm moving back and forth between two countries right now, so it's taken some of my time away that I normally had to mess around on machines and I only have my laptop right now as my desktops are currently in another country so I had no way to set up another machine to test on. Anyway though, thank you very much, and I'll give it another go and see if it's a dependency thing. If so I'll check what needs it and if I don't need those apps I'll take them all out. when I added the repos I found them and added them into YAST2 and kept the ones that are there by default as I wanted the patches from OpenSUSE and just wanted to option of adding third party stuff from the others, so I added those in and added some new software to give it a shot, and that's pretty much how all this started up. Man this turned out to be longer than I intended, heh sorry. Anyway, thanks much and I'll give those a shot and make sure I save these emails so I can check the commands later on, we have to leave in a sec, going out for Breakfast.
