I am trying again, I am not sure if someone have replayed my earlier. How can I use YaST2 to innstall rpms from my harddisk, in the old YaST1 it was easy to find the location, but I am not abel to do it in the new YaST2. Gunnar H

I don't know if someone replied to your particular mail, but the subject has been fairly heavily debated on the list. The answer is that you can't install arbitrary rpms in the YaST2 GUI. Rumour has it that such a module is under development, but it hasn't been presented to the general public yet. regards Anders

YaST2 GUI can not do it at the moment. However if you insist doing it via YaST2 ( there is no added benefit) try to issue the command yast2 -i /path/oackage.rpm On the otherhand using KPackage is better as it can do version control, dependency check.

it would not hurt PS. As a member of the SuSE-linux-e list let the members receive their own copy via maillist do not CC please -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
Yes, Kpackage is better and you can open it direcly from Konqueror if you need to be root to install the rpm. First open konqueror as root and click on the rpm. That's all! Dominique Togan Muftuoglu wrote:
