Sorry to correct you but both YaST and zypper are independant programs (neither is a front to the other), although they both make use of libzypp (which is the library that does the actual work). From zypper's man page: zypper is a command-line interface to ZYpp system management library. It can be used to install, update, remove software, manage reposito- ries, perform various queries, and more. And One-Click-Install sets the YaST Meta Package handler to work, which is one of the optional YaST modules you can install: /sbin/OneClickInstallCLI /usr/share/YaST2/clients/OneClickInstallCLI.ycp (out of the yast2-metapackage-handler package) PS: zypper was developed with as example Novell's "rug" product although it also was influenced by Novell ZENworks. It was introduced in openSUSE 10.2, as far as I know, while YaST is much older. -- ****************************************************************** ** Eef Hartman, Delft University of Technology, dept.

I meant that if you had installed it for the same card and it worked for you I would know definitely that the problems were of my own making. > >>> I was refering >>> that it apparently failed "too many times" which I think is very >>> strange. >> >> I suspect the problem I have is caused by Nvidia providing one driver to >> support too many legacy cards. > > That could well be. I think the driver probably works but the x-11 ... file is wrong. It is the windowing that is not correct. The top line of every window and most windows functionality is missing amongst other things. If I run Google Maps I get the higher resolution and speed that the graphics card provides. The correct graphics board and display are recognised.

You are right. Yast already existed in 2002/2003 in Open Suse 8.1
