Hi,

I did. Some apps didn't open after pressing their buttons when run from CD  
- that's the fault of my DVD drive probably - so I went to shell and  
installed SL x64 via livecd-install.

Alas, I was not able to up the SL x64. The process stopped (repeatedly) at  
the following messages (copied manually from the screen, no trace in logs):

Switching to new root and running in it
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys

request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

(here system went to sleep and it has stopped sending messages...)

BTW.1. I looked to the SL partition from other systems and there are no  
dev, proc, sys contents.

BTW.2. On the second partition with SL x32 I ended up in "dependency hell"  
setting priorities to the same value. I know what I did. ;-) But is there  
a general rule what to open first?

I need some apps which I used in Debian like Tea Editor (a must!), gqview  
(a must!), opera+firefox (a must!), (good) pdf reader, gftp, sound (a  
must), flash (high priority), etc.

As some apps informed the lack of certain libraries I set priorities of  
all repos to 10 to have overall picture of what is available. Alas, the  
tea was still left without support - no libs it needed.

Do I really need to compile them, against what repo?

BTW.3. The repositories listed on the repo page  
http://www.scientificlinux.org/community/repo need little descriptions  
IMHO - which one may be used in full alone or together with which, etc.  
One hyperlink to external text describing the problem would suffice.

Regards
