[SLE] Software updater - Continued


In hopes of getting some better Wireless network managment (more on
that in another post) I backed up then upgraded my 10.0 laptop to 10.1
this weekend. Most went well and I'm writing this from the laptop.

I first went to YaST and updated the libzypp thingy so that the Zen
Updater will work. Along the way, I updated about fifty packages while
still in YaST.

After a reboot (I'm a good Windows user.) I went and noticed ZMD was
telling me to update more. I went to update and got a really nasty
message, "Novell.Zenworks.Zmd.Public.ZenException: Failed to lookup
resolvable..."

I googled this and - after finding a bunch of useless information -
saw Carl's informative reply to just this question on the list.

http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2006-May/2397.html

I thought that it looked complicated but would give it a try, anyway.
(I'm still a newbie, after all.) When I went into YaST software
management to remove suseRegister - the first item on the list - I saw
two things, that made me think. In addition to suseRegister, I am
given "Kick-suseRegister" with the description of "Dummy to remove
suseRegister."

What should I use? I don't want to make the system FUBAR, so I'm
treading carefully.

I'm going to backup my home folder again, so will want to work on this
shortly after.

TIA!!
