- write the location where you downloaded the source (RPM) means that you downloaded the rpm file into a directory (for example: /user/marc) then choose "LOCAL DIRECTORY" and write "/user/marc" and NOT
Hi Marc, I saw that you finded now another solution, it's good. For the next time -if you want- you can do as I wrote, but the ftp install. ;-) Using "rpm -Uvh fest*.rpm" is the same as running yast (Yast is more user-friendly, the command line is more professional.

Thank You for trying to help Stefano. I tried your Step-by-Step instructions, but Yast did not accept my newly entered source of installation :(
I selected
FTP as the protocol entered Server Name: ftp.kde.org entered Directory on Server: pub/kde/unstable/apps/KDE3.x/accessibility
Anonymous Authentication was alright on the ftp.kde.org server, so I just left that option checked.
This is the Error Message I receive:
Unable to create installation source from URL 'ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/ kde/unstable/apps/KDE3.x/accessibility/'. Details: ERROR (InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media)
What else can I do? Any Clues? Is there a way to install RPMs without engaging YAST?
cheerio Marc

Hi Marc, try this: - start yast (root password) - click "change installation source" - click add - write the location where you downloaded the source (RPM) - click end Try to install your soft again, yast should now be able to find it! Have a nice day Stefano

Sorry for bothering you: I am trying to install the Festival RPM from the KDE Accessibility Project, but YAST does not show anything about the new Version. I am a bloody newbie to the Suse Installation System and therefore would like to ask you kindly for a hint on my installation problem. I am working on a Suse 9.3 Installation. Konqueror shows me a button 'Install Package with YAST' when I download the RPM from http:// accessibility.kde.org/developer/kttsd/index.php, but when I click on that button YAST shows me only the old Version 1.4.3 from the Suse- Repository.. Please, how can I point Yast towards the new RPM? Thank you for your cooperation, Marc Scheib (mailto:marc(at)mindbomb.de)
