I use the command line rpm without any problems. Type 'man rpm' for gobs of info. To install a package, simply do (as root), rpm -i <pkgname> To see a list of those files in the package, and where they went, rpm -ql netscape for example. -- Ryan On Thu, 27 Apr 2000, Andrew L. Gould wrote:
It is nonfunctional for me as well. Download the rpm file and install it using YAST. YAST isn't as convenient as kpackage; but it still beats dealing with tarballs.
1. Download the rpm you wish to install. Remember where you put it. 2. Login as root and start YAST. 3. Select 'Choose/Install packages'. 4. Select 'Install packages'. 5. You should now see the install window. It is probably, mostly empty. Make sure that 'Source: (none)' is highlighted and press <enter>. 6. You can now select a source for your packages. The options should include 'Directory', 'FTP', 'Source medium', and 'Floppy'. 7. Select 'Directory' and enter the path to the rpm you wish to install and press <enter>. 8. You should now be able to select the rpm for installation. The on-screen instructions should suffice from here.
Best of Luck,

Is there either a Netscape update tarball, or patch tarball available, instead of RPM? The Kpackage app. in 6.4 is nonfunctional (or at least it is for me), and also there are those of us who know better than to load up the /opt dir with applications and have installed Netscape elsewhere. If it's available, I'd like the address.
Thanks,
Fred
