Well, After screwing around in my system all day, I finally found the cure: tripwire had a problem and thus preventing me to install some rpm. A simple uninstall of tripwire solved the rpm-troubles. I'm downloading rpms like crazy now... Another isue which came up today(probably not for this list): I 'm using X-free 4. Seems that mister X is eating up all my ram and swap too. Ksysguard tells me X is eating 750000+ vmsize. Is this normal? And yet another one: Could somebody PLEASE explain me (in human language) how to get rosegarden to make some sound-output. I can't hear anything, nor can I use my evolution-usb-keyboard... I already figured out it probably has something to do with jack. But what and how still remain a mystery to me... Thanks to everybody with your responses. To be honest, I never expected these answers. THX!! Oh, before I forget I guess I will stay with Mandrake for now. I already learned a lot about linux today.
