I'm hoping to find 9 in stores this weekend. Release is set for today. I don't know why, but I'm drawn to SuSE. I always have been- though I've never spent a lot of time with linux. I guess my first real dive into linux will be testing yum with SuSE 9. :) I think I'm in over my head... but, that's normally what happens when you dive I guess. I'd *really* like to see yum work with SuSE. Piero, I can use all the help I can get. :) -Rhett Piero Calucci wrote: > On Thu, 2003-10-23 at 16:57, Garrick Staples wrote: > >>On Thu, Oct 23, 2003 at 10:37:51AM -0400, Rhett Butler alleged: >> >>>yes- folks that have recent versions of the beta verified that it has >>>rpm 4.1.1. >>> >>>newb comments/question: suse seems to do updates with "update" rpms. >>>these rpms are not full versions of the packages they update. do other >>>distributions do this? i could be wrong about this. if not, will this >>>stand in the way of using yum for suse? >> >>This just pulled something out of my memory regarding an "rpm patch" >>thingy called rhmask that never seemed to take off.
