Yes, Kpackage is better and you can open it direcly from Konqueror if you need to be root to install the rpm. First open konqueror as root and click on the rpm. That's all! Dominique Togan Muftuoglu wrote:

YaST2 GUI can not do it at the moment. However if you insist doing it via YaST2 ( there is no added benefit) try to issue the command
yast2 -i /path/oackage.rpm
On the otherhand using KPackage is better as it can do version control, dependency check.
You can have a look to http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/articles/rpm.html for a quick refresher on RPM commands
