[SWLUG] suse 9.1 and fedora 3 install woes

[bob]

HI
Just wondering if any of you have had problems with SUSE 9.1
installations?
I decided to try Suse and got a new boxed set.
I did a clean install on a box that as running FC1 for about a year.
When using Yast it kept saying it couldn't find some package's ( not a
lot you can do if its not on the CD!)

Eventually it loaded but I couldn't login ( user or Root) It said :
Cannot locate libpam.so no such file.

I then tried again, complete clean install this time it changed itself
from the yast install to text only. which wasnt a problem.
It still wouldn't login to Gnome.

Is there a known problem with Gnome on Suse?

Loaded FC 3 fine and is running well.

Did I miss something here?
Cheers
Bob
