Hi, people. I need to install some packages in a machine whith Suse 9.0 but I dont have a CD even can copy de files to my hd. So I am tryng to install via a http or ftp site, but i'm was unsuscessuful. Anyone there already instaled a package using Yast and a ftp/http site can help me? Thanks Adilson
Adilson, If you look in the online update part of the software manager it has a list of sites used to update SuSE and the relevant paths on the ftp servers for the SuSE data. Write this information down somewhere. Go to YAST and to "Change source of Installation". Create a new ftp installation site and put the data from previous into it. Set the new ftp site to be the priority installation and off you go. There will be a bit of fiddling involved but you should be able to get it going without too much trouble.

There are a couple of ways. One is to just use Konqueror to browse the ftp server. When you click on the rpm, you'll be offered the option to install using Yast. The otherway, is to add the server to the Yast "Change Source of Installation". With this method, you have to select one of the servers from the "Online Update" selections, then using Konqueor, work your way down through to the i586/9.2 folder. In Yast, "Change Source of Installation", select Add. Place the server name in the server box and the full path, after the host name, in the "Directory on Server" box and continue from there. For example, to use the server in Sweden, the server is "ftp.sunet.se" and the directory is "/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse/i386/9.2".

Do not use any preceding or trailing "/" in the directory name or you will get errors. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
