So using the ncurses yast2 .... it shows a + next to items that are
marked for installation.
What is the difference between + and > (which means "update")? If
something is already installed, I could "update" it I would presume.
But if it is not already installed my only option would be to "install
it", no? I see no items marked >, but several marked +
I would think the above situation would be reversed, with many > and
no + markings. Perhaps I am confused.

which might be the case, Marcus? If APACHE2 and PHP5 are installed in
the way that I describe (ie from source), will the YOU update munge
these installs? How do I avoid that?
Pardon my denseness here, but I have to update a server today, that
has dev-types from all over working on it to meet a tight deadline. I
don't want to *uck it up.
Also -- on this server, I have been unable to run runlevel editor from
either the KDE or ncurses at run level 3. (it just hangs as soon as I
select anything) Someone suggested that this is cured by a "full" YOU
update. Is there any particular module that I should be looking to
udate?
