Well, from personal experience I can say that I have found installing my own RPMs through YaST2 to be flawless. I distinctly remembering install something via Konqueror (which, in turn, installs via YaST2). It worked fine. I did that _just_ to find out whether it worked. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond me, RPMs are now set to open up in krpmview (or some such util) instead of opening via YaST2. [Anyone know what to set the file association to, to fix this?] What I just did (10 minutes ago) is instill my own RPM using the ncurses yast2: yast -i my_file.rpm YaST2 popped up and installed my RPM, even though an old version of the same package is available on the CDs/DVD. IMO, it seems something's amiss in your configuration. On Tuesday 12 November 2002 22:38, Richard wrote:

What version of mozilla do you have installed (i.e., YaST2 installs)?
Moz 1.0.1 that comes on SuSE 8.1 dvd.
I believe it works if you do not have a current version of whatever rpm installed. I recall using it to install something -dont remember what- that was not previously installed and it took care of dependencies by installing the required ones from the dvd. It may have been Mondo/Mindi, but cant be sure.
I'll be more observant in the future and let you know how it works.
