Would like to use Yast to install rpm´s I downloaded. Until SuSE 10.0 I could specify local directories to be searched by Yast. However, when I try to do this under 10.1 (Software -> Installation Source) and then specify my download-directory, Yast complains that it does not find a catalogue. Does this mean one cannot use Yast anymore to install its own non-SuSE rpm´s?
On ALL systems that I've installed 10.1 on, Yast WON'T install any software not listed as a site in Yast. That is, a downloaded rpm from "whereever," can't be installed via Yast.
For that there is kpackage then you can install one at a time. for more complicated things such as the latest OOo I used rpm -Uvh -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
