Hi again,

- I do appreciate your help !

- But part of the problem is, that I've added quite a few other fine 
repositories to YaST allready without problems. So I think (?) I know how to 
do :-)

Now, I've not changed anything i this SuSE10.2, it's plain vanilla. So, I did 
not change/indstall/uninstall anything regarding package installation and so 
forth. 
Hell, I can't even uncheck "Sync with Zenwork", it keeps coming on.
And, I keep getting the idiot message I report.
I don't think there is anything wrong to the path given by you, in fact I can 
use Konqueror (or what ever) to check the path and all. It's all here:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/NX/openSUSE_10.2/
and is looking perfectly well.

So, I conclude once again, that the F*!@##ing YaST/Zen doesn't work. As we all 
know.

The only thing I don't know, is how to get the darned thing updated without 
running into this utter studid SuSE/YaSt thing. I clearly need to remove 
freeNX and hence download some packages manually, again facing dependency 
hell.

Have you more patience with me?
