[WARNING - Suse newbie] Hi, all, After years of Mandrake, and with a disappointing MDK 9.2 attempt to install, I have decided to take another look at Suse (have not seen it since 6.4 ... I think ...). I was able to install it(Suse 9.0) just fine, but I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for the followings (I apologize if this has been answered before, but Suse's site does not seem to have a search engine for this mailing list archive, while netsys.com - the other place I found this to be archived - is in the process of updating their search engine ;( ) : - is there an equivalent of the MDK database of updates, that would allow one to build a list of sites (after having installed from CDs), and use those for any future software installs (vs. having to use the CDs all the time)? I hate to think of needing something on my Suse machine at work, and - while ssh-ed into it - to find out that yast asks me for CD number <x>, when trying to install remotely software I did not put on in the beginning. - can I point - somehow - to the updates site(s) of Suse, and do manual/CLI update, without having to use Yast, but with capability of identifying dependencies! (ala MDK: # urpmi.update -a then # urpmi --update --auto-select) ? - is there an equivalent of the PLF site(s) for Suse (thinking DVD stuff, and the likes ;))? All questions above would probably be more clear if one would know of the urpmi used by MDK (for regular/normal updates/patches, as well as PLF stuff) - see link: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ TIA, Papi
