Don't  get  me wrong, but a SuSE/YaST update failed me once. When  I  men-
tioned this in the SuSE newsgroup, others were somewhat stunned because it
had never happened to anyone else.

To  be specific, the only thing to have broken after the update was kdm. I
just needed to add a line or two to a dot file in my home directory, mere-
ly in order to escape TWM as the default windows manager. KDE was not bro-
ken, but the login screen was not polished. All the instructions were very
clear in the KDE handbook, so I mended it very quickly.

Best wishes,

Roy
