Like many readers of this newsgroup, I have several older versions of SuSE lining my bookcase stretching back to 6.0. Many of these have applications which are no longer included in SuSE distributions. These include SampLin-a data collection program, Rstatist-which was a great statistical rendering application, the IBM Open Visualization Data Explorer and others....
Can I use the current version of Yast to install these programs from my old distro cds?
I would guess not, but it might still be possible to install them. Just find the rpm file on the CDs and try rpm -ivh filename.rpm. You may need to tell rpm to skip the dependency check. Regards Ole
