Dependency hell. Welcome to the world of rpm. ;-) Oh, come on, that's like complaining about dpkg not automagically resolving dependencies.

This PDF seems to imply that the default is now Yum: http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse101/pdfdoc/applying_patches/applying_patches.pdf A bit of Googling led me to this page: http://www.buks-island.org/2006/04/10/48 So, assuming you feel you can trust that individual's packages, you could try adding this as a Yum repo via YaST (the above PDF mentions this, anyway): http://www.buks-island.org/pub/linux/suse/RPMS-10.1/ > Essentially, you type: > > apt-get install fluxbox > > And VWOOOM!

With Yum, you'd either select fluxbox via YaST (I'm not 100% on this, as I haven't used SuSE in a number of years) or run: yum install fluxbox Different program, same basic syntax, and (hopefully) same results. Let us know if that helps. Jima
