Hello: Previously I asked what happened to rpm package groups in yast package manager. The answer was that is had been removed. What alternative can I use to find packages that belong to a certain category, for example network/ftp or graphics/viewers etc? I copy here part of my previous question to make it clear what I am talking about: In previous openSUSE/SuSE versions (eg in 13.1) there was an rpm group list option in yast package manager/view tab pulldown menu. It showed a list of rpm groups in a very detailed manner where I could show/hide groups and subgroups like directories and files in a file manager. For example: +Amusement +Games +3D Other Race Shoot Simulation +Action Arcade Breakout First Person Shootes Other Race Shoot +Board ... ... Applications +Arciving +Client etc. Thanks, Istvan

I'd say your best bet is to go to the web. Go to https://software.opensuse.org/ and below you will see some categories. Click on one of them and the category below to narrow it down a bit further. https://software.opensuse.org/packages/FileTransfer https://software.opensuse.org/packages/Viewer There is a tool for KDE/Plasma where you can find categories as well. Just user stuff though. plasma-discover -- /bengan
