    I am completely confused!

    A week ago I had no trouble updating Suse 9.2 Pro through YOU from Kde
    3.3 to Kde 3.3.7 (something), and to kernel "level a".

    I intentionally removed my system, because being a three week user of
    Linux, I experimented knowing I would screw up so badly that I would
    have to remove, reformat and reinstall.

    Now that I reinstalled (cleanly) I cannot get YOU updates to take
    hold. I keep getting the same files to install as updates including
    the 11.75 MB kernel nongpl update. And when I run that nongpl update
    i get a Conflict Resolution notice thru System Update to remove
    referring package: "delete-kernel-default-nongpl 2.6.8-24.11" and
    "install kernel 2.6.8-24-default "

    A problem is that when I go Control Center/YaST2 modules the screen on
    the right shows that I still have kernel 2.6.8-24-default. None of
    the update i run seem to take hold.

    And I can find NO way to update KDE 3.3 to Kde 3.3.2 or get to "level
    a" again.

    The system seems to work OK as is but I cannot do some little things I
    did before - like put a dictionary into the panel - because I can't
    find it when i right click panel, click add, and look for the
    dictionary - because it is not anywhere in the lists anymore.

    I would really and truly appreciate some advice as to how to fix this
    problem. I simply do not know what to do.
