I just installed S.u.S.E. 5.1 yesterday, noticed XFree 3.2.2 was out, so downloaded the rpms from the S.u.S.E. ftp server and tried to install them... Right, I'm sure I've missed something really obvious here, but how do you perform updates with Yast?
First of all :1) Run Yast 2) pick choose/install packages 3) install packages 4) pick from directory 5) put in the directory they are (where u downloaded to) 6) put an X in the rpms you want to install and hit F10 to start it 7) your done, have a blast..... 8) oh just exit Yast by going to main menu and finish up and exit button 9) should clean up, and update you man pages and a few other things.
There seems to be no way of selecting the directory you've downloaded updated rpms into (so Yast has no knowledge of them...)! I tried changing "installation media" to the download directory (in this case /root/home/tmp) but this didn't work either. In the end I tried installing XFree 3.2.2 using rpm (with -U option), but one of the components clashed with ps-1.12.2-5 and refused to install... Also how do you install netscape.rpm without conflicting with the ntscp (Netscape script) thing already installed?
Why do people need a netscape RPM?Netscape is simple enough lets say you download communicator.x86.tar.gz put that file where your want it I put it in /usr/local/netscape (thou I am not security minded) some people put it in /opt/lib or somethen.. anyways once you move it to where your gona have it type : tar -zxvf communicator.x86.tar.gz it will un-tar itself.. next Read the README then do a './ns-install' (everything in the quotes) so what I am saying for DOS heads to execute a file you use a period and a slash before the name of the file. ./name-of-file <--like that ok now its done.... now to run it, you gota be in X open a term and change directorys to where you did install it and type /netscape There that should of started it ...have a blast
