Hi all,
Brand new to Suse, so I installed 9.0 from a magazine CD, just to dip my toe in the water. Being a cut down version to fit on one CD there were certain things which were not installed, understandable. I would like to configure a local mirror as a source for Yast2 but it protests that there is no installation media in that directory. I thought that Yast2 may be a bit like apt-get for RedHat or urpmi for Mandrake, so I expect that some configuration of software sources is in order. The rpm repository for suse on my local mirror is http://planetmirror.com/pub/linux/suse/suse, how can I set this up within yast2, please?
Once the software sources are specified, can I just type (for example) yast2 scribus and have it install and resolve the dependencies as well?
I was hoping to get Evolution working on this but so far it looks like dependency hell.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Use this: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ A great resource for setting up apt on SUSE. Read carefully, but very easy to set up and being using. apg-get install scribus and away you go! ;-)
