rpm, zypper, yast.
I'd consider http://software.opensuse.org/search (or webpin, as CLI for that) as more essential as yast -- otherwise one never knows where the needed package is in the maze of repositories called openSUSE Build Service. ;-) Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod@acm.org Roedermark, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

i would tend to agree -- while yast is nice, i always prefer to start with the underlying commands. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

i find it easiest to do most things with zypper, using webpin to find the repo.s i need. yast package manager is useful to figure out dependency problems, since it shows technical information about packages in different available repo.s more conveniently than zypper does. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
