I've found YOU, and the install/delete package (from the installation source) in YAST2. In Yast1, I could select install packages, and it would ask for a location. I've searched high and low for this same feature in Yast2 and have yet to find it. What am I missing?
use the yast2 module in section software called "change source of installation". sounds obvious, almost? ;-)
When I do that and type in /home/michael/rpms it tells me there are no installation media can be found. Yast1 always finds it. Am I doing something wrong ? The directory is where I put downloaded rpms.
Okay, I thought you're talking about the installation cd's or ftp.suse.com as install. source for packages of the distribution. yast2 only works on a full install. tree incl. all those helper files that you find on cd, where yast(2) gets its ino from. It doesn't work for indiviudual packages. look at http://sdb.suse.com/, there's an article for how to install packages in suse linux. I just found it when I checked for all articles for SL 8.0. Basically, use e.g. kpackage or just plain "rpm"... Michael
