Hi,
Thanks, but neither idea worked (?!). I got the same
error message as before with RPM. With YaST and YaST2,
I got interesting displays that indicated something
was going on ("reading package information", for
instance), but the package was not installed.
I tried changing the source media again. Whether I
tried changing it to a local directory, a CD besides
the SuSE installation disks, or even the FTP site, I
got the same error:
ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media)
This is amazing to me. I've changed media with past
versions of YaST (even using a floppy once) without
difficulty. This, by the way, was AFTER I did hwscan
--cdrom on the advice of the support site. (I'd burned
a CD after the initial install.)
Thanks again,
Steve

You can try to install the package with Yast, like this:
# yast2 -i /path/to/package/package.rpm
Or you can try the manual way:
rpm -Uvh /path/to/package/package.rpm
If you already have a version of the package installed, you need to upgrade the package and not install it.
I use rpm -Uvh by default, that way new package is installed and an existing one is upgraded.
