part two is if you want to install a series of rpm packages, then yast will have to have specific information (files) and a specific directory structure, so to answer in the affirmative for this subject, it will depend if the vendor supports this yast-specific-structure.
Is this "yast-specific-structure" documentated anywhere? I don't use KDE, I issue the yast command from the command line so doing anything with konqueror isn't possible. Basically I want to generate a few of my own rpms for certain software not on the SuSE CDs and I would like to be able to add my ftp server as a source of installation in YaST. I'm assuming that I would have to follow a certain layout structure or execute some script(s) on the ftp server for yast to recognize my ftp server to be valid.
