Anybody recall how yast used to allow you to brows an arbitrary file structure looking at rpms? It would tell you if the rpm you were looking at was installed, new than an installed rpm, etc. I believe it would also resolve (or at least indicate) conflicts and dependencies to some extent. That was really nice to have. I expected them to put it back in after they got the QT wrapper finished. It still seems to be missing.
There is an option to import a list of rpms from disk, but I have no idea how to form that list. Has anybody worked with this feature? STH
Mine still does on Suse 9, using a default install and adding additional apps. I was having a problem getting 9 on my desktop and one of the installs using the minumum install yast only listed what was installed during the installation. Any rpms not listed can be found at Suse's download site and can be installed using yast. Rich -- Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter. -Martin Luther King-

Let me give an example. This is actually the reason I asked the question. I just fetched the KDE 3.2 rc1 from a SuSE Mirror. There was a time I could simply point YaST to /download/com/suse/kde/ and see all the rpms, and their status. They didn't even need to be SuSE rpms. I don't believe that is still possible with YaST2.
