I'm not sure if this method will apply to SuSE 8.1 or not. I'm running 7.3 and it has worked well for me. I noticed, from kde3.0 on, that trying to install kde manually using rpm -Uvh... would always come back with dependancy errors if I didn't install them in the correct order. I found it easier to just fire up YaST(1), point it to the folder where my rpms are stored, select everything in the folder and let YaST install them. If it needs another package it goes through the list to see if it's there before spitting out an error message.
Unfortunately SuSE apparently found this functionality to be unnescissary in 8.0/8.1. No amount of user griping (on this list) has been able to change their position
Its the one thing I really miss being able to do. It finally forced me to learn how to use apt4suse.

Hmmm...bummer. Is apt any good? I've been considering upgrading to 8.1 but haven't come up with a good enough reason yet. But I suppose that's a topic for a different list. -Allen ---------------------------- Aseelye@blackfoot.net ICQ# 8286205 http://www.geocities.com/alleninmt - Problems? There are no problems.
