All I want for Christmas is a yast that saves its installed rpm,s or at They are preparing that for opensuse 11.
least help ( directions to routine that clears cache to save me hours of looking for it ) to change it myself. Dunno... but I think the download directory is arbitrary, not constant. I'm thinking. If, while it is downloading, you discover where it is downloading (use 'ps afx|less', for instance), and then hardlink each rpm there to another location, they will not be deleted from the disk: they will dissapear from the yast directory, but not from the other. But you have to do this fast, before yast deletes each one.
As to the piece of code... dunno. Somebody will know. Perhaps in the factory list.
Sounds interesting.

It certainly does. An option to save or not, default off, could be made, whereby the rpm's are moved to another dir, instead of deleted.
especialy when testing stuff, sometimes things get broken, beyond repair when not having working pkgs. Which now sometimes causes to do a new install, which is not the same, and can have issues, that weren't there before..
One should have 2gig spare room for a downgrade to store.. one could downgrade the whole at once, or look for the pkgs that have to be temporarely replaced.
This will not be very easy, as sometimes very many pkgs are involved, with many, many deps to solve...
sorry I took so long to say thanks. I have joined the yast development mailing list and have downloaded the yast documentation package. By the way the kernel you are running was the one I last crashed my system with trying to get the nvidia video drivers to work with it. I did not quite understand the workings of pata and my system didn't see the hard disk after kernel compilation and then yast stopped working and x but thanks to having everything it took a few hours to have a better system with my 10.3 beta 2 cd and my local repository. I have reverted to my old 2.6.22.9 kernel. I can't seem to get the nvidia installer to work on the 2.6.24 one.
