If your /usr/ filled up, things may be broken in a number of ways. Run "rpm -V" commands on all your packages, particularly the ones dealing with YaST and ncurses. You may also want to drop down to single user mode, unmount /usr, and do an fsck on it.
SLES9 is most definitely not out of support.

Ever since I get the error message zlp1:~ # yast /sbin/yast: line 115: set_lang_from_sysconfig: command not found /sbin/yast: line 119: check_ncurses: command not found You need to install yast2-ncurses to use the YaST2 text mode interface ncurses appears to be installed! I see zlp1:~ # rpm -qa ncurses ncurses-5.4-61.4 I I have been corresponding with Novell and their support S-U-C-Ks. I have not been able to get anyone to help on this. Just today I finally managed to get to a human only to be told that SuSE9 is out of support and they expect me to re-install with SuSE 10. Is someone kidding me? The person tells me that it is the market trend - just like Microsoft Vista would require a new install in the place of XP. I would like to know what this forum is hearing about this issue. If this is the state of affairs when a big company buys open source, the trend is disturbing! If Novell can not support SuSE, I will go Debian or similar, if I have to install from scratch! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
