2) can I use YaST2 to install downloaded RPM's as YaST1 allowed you to do. I know I can do this with 'rpm -i' as well but YaST1 used to take care of the dependencies when you installed a bunch of RPM's together, so it was easier.
Yes, 'yast -i packagename'. The catch is that specifiying the full path will install the package without dependency checking. For example, yast2 -i vim will prompt for the correct cd and handle the dependencies. yast2 -i /tmp/foo.rpm will not. -- -ckm
