In other words, if I choose to do an install manually somehow, like rpm from the command-line, Yast will no longer know what's what and will become undependable.
No, you can install rpm's from the command line. YaST uses the rpm database.
If I install something via a script, or recompile something in to the kernel myself, than RPM won't have an accurate database and will be unusable.
Use checkinstall: http://checkinstall.izto.org/ which is included with SUSE. Charles -- LILO, you've got me on my knees! (from David Black, dblack@pilot.njin.net, with apologies to Derek and the Dominos, and Werner Almsberger)
