I don't know if I'm following the list correctly, but I think the only diference is that the new yast requires BOTH sources. That in the old one, you "replace" SUSE sources with an FTP... In the new one, you define BOTH. It works better, now since it can find the dependancies from the CD... As example, I've downloaded and Installed FwBuilder. by downloading the varios *.rpm to a directory, Added the director to Yast as a new source, and then did search for Firewall...

But these directories are not just "a bunch of rpm's". They have to meet certain criteria, as you can see if you browse the KDE example in my previous mail.
Yup thats the difference between old and new. The old version of yast could be pointed to any ftp directory and it would register the URL as a source and allow for installation. Dependency checks varied of course. This seems to be no longer the case with the current shipping version which is a shame to some degree as it was such a time saver..;)
Thanks for your help on this, its appreciated.
