HELP - YAST won't Load, neither can I adjust Time. OS -10.3

[sparcnz]

Hi All,
I have just recently found I have a problem under SUSE 10.3.

History, I had my PC, an IBM Power Centre box with 4g ram and 2 hard-drives (80gb and 1Tb) fail to reboot after a power drop. Got an error message about the 80gb H/D losing some information. I was able tofix the issues by using "fsck".

The PC was able to restart after this, and seemed to be working well.

However in the last couple of days I noiticed that the time was incorrect, it seems the sync for time has switched to normal time too early.
Right mouse click to adjust this would not bring up the "adjust time" window. ?Why, unknown.

I then decided I would go through "YAST" to do my changes, but now I am unable to load "YAST". I can load it through a terminal window, but there must be some reason why it won't load the GUI? from the menu.?

There could be other programs that are also not loading that I have not found.

Q- could something have been lost when I had the H/D reboot issue? And if so is there any way of restoring lost or coruputed OS files?

I have the 10.3 OS on DVD, which is how I installed it, and note that there is a recovey prompt, but need some advise on how to go about it.
A total reinstall is not an option at this time until I can get a backup unit running.

Any advise would be gratefully received, hopefully you can save my day.

Regards Kevin.

If I have miised any information critical to a reply please do ask for me to include it.

The problem is that 10.3 is no longer supported. So you can not get updated to the time system. Since What time it is is under political control it tends to change. So updates are frequently needed. OpenSUSE 11.4 is the current version 11.3 and 11.2 are still supported.
