I have a customer who wants to install a SUSE 9.2 package on their 9.2 system. Oddly, when they search for the package by name in in yast, it does not show up. The package is tktable-2.8-164.i586.rpm, which is on CD4. Is there any way to get YAST to reread the package information from the original install media if there is a problem like this?
Hi Roger,
There's a button to enable/disable refreshing of installation sources in YaST's "Installation Sources" module. You highlight the installation source by clicking on it and enable refresh using that button.
I figured this was the way.
Alternatively, they could just navigate to the actual package on CD4 using Konqueror, click on .rpm file and select the "Install with YaST" button Konqueror provides.
This is what I told them. But they claim the file is not on the DVD. It is surely on the DVD I have. Since I have a suspicion that they are not looking at the DVD correctly (?!?) I thought if YAST looked for the package they would be saved. +····························+·······························+ · Roger Oberholtzer · E-mail: roger@opq.se · · OPQ Systems AB · WWW: http://www.opq.se/ · · Kapellgränd 7 · · · P.
