I greatly miss the features that the older "YaST" provided. One was the single package installation from a local directory. The other is the ability to go to various SuSE ftp sites, such as the supplementary directory and "compare" the packages there with those installed on my machine. For instance, I could look at the KDE-Base dir and see if an updated package was there. This was extremely usefull in order to apply patched/fixed packages and stabilize KDE. Now I have to do an "rpm -qv foo" to see what version is installed on my system and compare this to the files on the SuSE ftp server. This can be very time consuming and labor intensive if one desires to check the ftp site package against installed package in the KDE-Apps directory for example. I would urge you to integrate some of these features in YaST2. I do understand you attempts at unifying these to programs. However, the aforemention features would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
