I just installed S.u.S.E. 5.1 yesterday, noticed XFree 3.2.2 was out, so
downloaded the rpms from the S.u.S.E. ftp server and tried to install
them... Right, I'm sure I've missed something really obvious here, but how
do you perform updates with Yast? There seems to be no way of selecting
the directory you've downloaded updated rpms into (so Yast has no
knowledge of them...)! I tried changing "installation media" to the
download directory (in this case /root/home/tmp) but this didn't work
either. In the end I tried installing XFree 3.2.2 using rpm (with -U
option), but one of the components clashed with ps-1.12.2-5 and refused to
install... Also how do you install netscape.rpm without conflicting with
the ntscp (Netscape script) thing already installed?

Cheers

Paul
