Such a directory that can be a YaST source directory does not always exist.
Tks...a bit of a misunderstanding. By source I meant a data source for yast. Guess this feature did not survive into the new Yast as in its previous incarnation you could point yast to any ftp server (local or remote) and use that server as an medium for yast. ie: you could use yast to identify and install rpm from anywhere. This feature seems to be limited now to yast integration on Kongi but the limitation is one rpm at a time. For example: I have a local ftp server on another machine on my network and I want to instruct Yast to use it as an installation source/medium. Its a collection of various rpms. There is no way that I have found to have yast accept this directory as an "installation medium" as it wont stop whining that its not an install source. Regards /ch
