[ale] Don't trust Yast!

[James Taylor]

I hate to say it, but the YaST Online Update install of the NVidia driver has never worked for me.  I've always had to install from the shell script.  I keep trying on each update, and it keeps failing.

The Xwindows system is the one area where YaST seems to have problems.

It would be nice if you would report the error to SUSE so they can fix 
the bug in Yast.  I'll keep your report in mind as I look to upgrade to 
9.2 soon.
