I have downloaded and installed rpm's such as Borland's Kylix package. That showed up OK as an installed package under YOU. That was with SuSE 8.1 pro. It doesn't appear in YaST now though - probably due to the fresh installation of 9.2 pro. I have installed the latest version of fou4s from the downloaded rpm. That appears in YaST OK - it just shows the installed version - the available version field is empty in YaST. So, if you install a rpm package correctly (download and install locally as root?), then it should appear OK in YaST, as YaST reads the rpm database to give the user a list of installed packages. I think you will find that non-rpm packages such as self-installing binaries, will not appear in YaST, as there is no way for YaST to know about them, if they are not in the rpm database.

It looks to be a cool tool but it's not for me since it Supports SuSE Linux 7.1 to 9.1 and most SuSE business products

I think you will find that it supports 9.2 as well, with built-in version detection! Nice tool Markus - thankyou - or should that be thankfou4s?

Of course it also supports SuSE 9.2 (and the latest beta version even supports delta rpm's which means ~ 70% decrease in download size for a fresh system).
