Hi. I have lost Yast2 on my SuSE 9.3 Pro. How can I install it again ?
Hi Michael. Thanks for your reply.
Whoops, I did that too. Tried to remove too much from a cut down system. Said OK to a few too many uninstalls.
Exactly the same procedure here :'(
I got back, but it was a hassle.
Mount up a copy of the Suse DVD. (Best to copy it into a directory wholesale.)
Do you mean to copy the DVD to a directory ?. What means wholesale ?.
cd <mountpoint>/suse
You will find directories: i586, i686, noarch, setup, x86_64
Try: rpm -ivh i586/yast2-packagemanager-2.11.28-3.i586.rpm
It will fail because of dependencies. Play with adding */<name-of-needed-package> to the list of RPMs.
Ok.
Eventually you will succeed.
I hope so. Indeed I do ;-)
They you can gratefully fire up yast2:software add and remove software and it will do all this for you.
That I also hope to be able to do. Erik J.
