It's a bit annoying to use GnoRPM to install and YaST to uninstall but until YaST will use local files to install, that's what I have to do!
I came across a way to install local files via YaST2 very easily. If you downloaded package x.rpm open up konqueror file browser and click on x.rpm. It gives you a button up top to "install with yast". Since I don't use konqueror all that much since it always crashes, I just came across this option recently, and have only installed one program with it, since. However, it does launch the YaST installation, and "appears" to check for dependencies that are on the installation CD's. If you do it this way, you can uninstall via YaST like any other program. I haven't played with it much, so, like I said, I'm not 100% on the dependency thing, but someone else who uses it might know more, or you could play with it some. -Jeric -- JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork 9:12am up 15:10, 6 users, load average: 0.19, 0.12, 0.04 "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..." -U.S. Constitution, Amendment IV, 1791 (Say "NO" to TIA!)
