That Yast does readily: it will replace the existing rpm by the one you force, even if older.
Yes, but the 'spirit' of Felix's question was "Where is the button in YOU to select this arrangement when I'm installing a kernel update?" The operative phrase in my scenario, above, is "graphical function"... meaning predefined and automatic, not requiring a lot of decisions or manual intervention.
Exactly!
I understood he asked about what what Anders wrote a moment ago, in his first paragraph, using rpm -i instead of -U.
Except, of course, for the fact that his original inquiry was about a "non rpm command line" solution.
Yes, and for more reasons than might be apparent. I think most of us forget how simple YOU makes our lives. YOU not only installs, if finds, checks deps, and downloads. To use rpm instead of YOU, one must first find the appropriate RPM, then download it, attempt to install it, and then when it complains about some unavailable dep update like hal or udev, start all over again. Once success is achieved, one must then do the cleanup manually that YOU also does automatically. -- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Psalm 33:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
