| 355074 | 2005-05-16 02:22:00 | Okay, The problem of using YAST to install a downloaded rpm is that you would need to change/add the location for the rpm. Probably the easier option would be to cd to the location of the unzipped rpm, su to root and then rpm -ivh the.full.name-of.the.rpm and this should install it in the correct location for your system. Good luck :) |
