Yes, Anders, thanks, that was it. I have indeed factory still in there for Yast, as I'm running a constantly updated beta 3 of 10.3 ... (even in production due to 10.2 not supporting yet the built in ethernet of the Asus Aspire 4520G notebook). I do not have factory as channel in smart, which I usually use for installs, but the security updates I do with Yast, and there I got it... Anyway, may be that was the problem of the OP too, the error message at least is the same. Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
