Hello all,
I installed Suse 10.2 on my laptop the other day using the network install. I open up the software managment app and i search for conky. I can't find it anywhere.
Since most of us here probably don't have a clue what conky is... http://conky.sourceforge.net/
Now I've just recently switched from Debian, and i'm used to the online repositories to be just chuck full of stuff. Anyway, how would i go about installing this on Suse??? do i go download the RPM and install it that way?? Or can i use YAST to download it and it's dependancies as well.
You can. You will have to add additional repositories. I found it on the "guru" repository - version 1.4.5 is there. I use SMART as a tool (similar to apt-get, if that still exists) but you can pick and choose what tool you want. This page is an excellent intro to these tools and the sites you need: http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories
I would really like to think that YAST is at least on par with apt-get and the debian repositories, as far as software goes.
YaST is that and more. It is probabaly one of the stronger points of SUSE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
