I'm sure this has been discussed to some extent here, nonetheless, I would like to get an idea of where SuSE are going with YaST. There are some features which I really liked in YaST which are missing in YaST2. The biggest thing I find lacking is the ability to determine what is currently installed on my system while browsing the updates. For example, if I go to the KDE update directory on the SuSE ftp site, I would like to know which applications are already on my system. We used to be able to do this with YaST.
Yes, I found this feature missing, too. I have switched to grab and/or apt4rpm, which are somewhat more capable than manual browsing and updating. I will post small howto for both on my Web site on Monday. PS. Also, you can use rpm -Fvh *.rpm on the dir with updates to update only installed RPMs. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://homepage.mac.com/MacGuruHQ/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
