One of the most frustrating things that I have found with 7.2, is that the description or details of a package no longers lists the name of files it contains. Over the weekend, I installed the fpk package (pascal compiler). It unpacks its files in a directory called fpc and the compiler is ppc386. It took me ages to find this out (actually by using an earlier distribution CD). Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to an alternative (easier) method. Don't get me wrong. I love SuSE 7.2 and was boasting about it to a friend who has had continuous problems with several of his systems running MS stuff. However, I would really appreciate some guidance here because it can get frustrating at times?
