The one useful piece of software not included with SuSE 8.1 is kpackage. I
tried XMIN and other similar packages but none are as good as kpackage, in my
opinion.
If some of you do not agree that kpackage is better than other RPM front-ends,
please do not flame me. This is purely my preference.
Downloading Kpackage as source and RPM has not been a successful experience.
However, after a lot of trial and error, there is a package that can be
installed to provide this useful tool. It is called
"kdeadmin3-3.0.4-0.i586.rpm". Although the site from which this package was
downloaded cannot be remembered, a search on google should help to locate
this package. The file size is 1 MB.
Hope this helps to anyone trying to find kpackage for use on SuSE 8.1.
All the best.
