Add a repository with -k option, like this:
zypper sa -k http://www.opensuse-education.org/download/repo/1.0/11.0/ edu
The rpms would remain in /var/cache/zypp even after installation.
so unless i don't use -k , my rpm packages aren't saved on my computer? is there anyway i can recover the packages i have already installed?
You have the files on disk. So save what is there. If you really need packages instead of files you can try a tool like rpmrebuild. Its on 11.0
what files on the disk are you referring to? how can i create a backup of all the softwares installed without using the rpm files?
An rpm is a container with files in it (plus more). So if i install blah.rpm and this add the programm /usr/bin/blah to my system i can backup /usr/bin/blah without having to worry about the rpm right? Thats what im saying.
