More detailed explanation of what Im doing when trying to install: ipw_firmware_7_10.noarch.rpm
Hi Ricardo, You can install the rpm package from command line as follows: As root: "rpm -Uhv ipw_firmware_7_10.noarch.rpm --test" The package management program 'rpm' will process the installation without actually writing anything to disk (the '--test' parameter). If you don't see any errors and the text-based progress bar hits '100%', repeat the command without the '--test' parameter. Then run 'ldconfig' Then run 'SuSEconfig' Logout as root, close the shell, launch Konqueror in filesystem browsing mode, navigate to the file 'ipw_firmware_7_10.noarch.rpm' and click on it. Konqueror will open the package so you can inspect the contents. Ignore the 'Install with YaST' button. Look for the 'Files' tab, click on it and study the list of files. It'll list every file contained in the package, including the paths each has been installed to. Make note of the location(s) of any README or HowTo or other documentation. Navigate to them and hopefully you'll be able to take it from there. hth & regards, Carl -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
