thanks Anders How do i go about installing software with YaST and keeping the YaST module up-to-date and aware of everything? Not possible i would guess, Tim

rpm -Uvh *rpm ?

Unless Im mistaken (always a possibility) I thought that Yast simply relies on the underlying rpm database.

I know I have been installing rpms by hand on mnay many systems, and never had issues with yast getting coinfused by that.

I could just have gotten lukcy I guess ..

"Never" is a strong word. IIRC the gui yast2 had its own database and didn't care about the system wide rpm database in suse 8.0 and 8.1. I think it wasn't until 8.2 that it looked at the rpm db. But yes, rpm -Uvh <filename> or yast -i <filename> are possible options. There are a million ways to do it

OK, I more or less skipped 8.0 and 8.1 (except on one or two systems) and wnet fro 7.3 to 8.2 / 9.0 on most of my boxes (my in this case meaning the ones I admin, not the ones I own ;) ) so indeed, I just got lucky .. I don;t think I've ever used the yast2 on 8.0 and 8.1 (except maybe to change some system settings) . Didn't 8.0 and 8.1 still also supply old style yast ? I know the 8.0 and 8.1 boxes I've only ever fiddled with remotely (over an ssh connection) so I for sure have not used the gui/qt based yast flavour on those. And over ssh rpm -Uvh is much quicker to us ...

But yes, rpm -Uvh <filename> or yast -i <filename> are possible options. There Thanks to you both
