Can I install with no risk 8.1 rpm to 8.2? I'm looking for some screen savers I had installed in 8.1 which are not available in 8.2.
Thx, Martin
The simple answer is there is a risk, and IMHO a big risk, which someone will correct me if I am wrong, because what you are asking is can you take some rpms which were built using certain libraries and install them on a machine running other libraries... so there is a risk... If you really want them, rebuild them from source using rpm --rebuild (see man rpm) (also see http://rpm.redhat.com/RPM-HOWTO/build.html and http://packman.links2linux.de/index.php4?action=faq) There is lots of other resources including in SuSE archives, and SuSE Support Data Base.
