Hi,
I am currently running SuSE 9.1 Professional and I find that the package installation mechanisms are quite a mess. I see that there are at least three different set of utilities available - each with its own set of command line and graphical interface.
1. Yast2 : This is what comes with SuSE 9.1 professional. Command line yast and graphical yast2. 2. apt-get: This is apt4rpm tool. It has synaptics, kynpatics etc. graphical interfaces. Some popular packagers (e.g. guru, packman etc.) use this. 3. Red Carpet: This is Ximian's red carpet, which is now bought by Novell. It has command-line rug and the redcarpet.
4. kpackage which has yet to fail me. you run it from konsole as user and then specify the root pw within kpackage when you wish to test an install. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/
