Don't know if this has been discussed already. The ability to handle rpm with a sort of Yast fronend embedded in konqueror is great. Quite perfect, but it is quite annoying when a remote rpm is clicked. I'd like to choose between installing, as it goes now, and a simple download, which is actually not possible: in such cases, you have to go back and manually download the file. Comments?
The file that gets downloaded is stored in the /tmp directory, unfortunately, if you "navigate away" from this [by pressing the "back" button for instance] the /tmp file is deleted. So what you can/should do is this: 1) when the RPM is finally loaded [meaning you can navigate the buttons and see the "file list" for instance] open a terminal window 2) in the terminal window, switch to your /tmp storage area: cd /tmp/kde-<username> 3) issue an "ls *.rpm" command. This will hopefully show only one ".rpm" file in the temporary directory -- that is the one you've downloaded. Using the name in your konquerer window, COPY the file to whereever you intended to download it, i.e., cp konquerer.<randomstring>.rpm /home/<username>/download/<actual>.rpm 3a) if there is more than one ".rpm" file, look at file sizes (ls -l) or use "lsof" [open files] to determine which of the "rpm's" is the one you're looking at in the other window. -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
