Download? I have several RPMs that you could not download. Downloaded the source and use checkinstall to make the RPM. (I don't distribute them and they work for me, so don't laugh.) I also asume that the 'better way' is to use a repository. And that is just what createrepo does. It makes a repo for you. :-) Concerning the bug, should I add createrepo solution to that bug, or to 174369? The createrepo solution is not identical to downloading an RPM and installing that. That could perhaps be solved by running `rpm -Uvh file.rpm`. Unfortunatly rpm is already linked to real, but it should not be too hard to change that. Or have it as a left click and run `rpm -Uvh ...rpm`. If you want it done by YaST, a wget to /tmp and then `yast -i /tmp/file.rpm` should sove that as yast can't deal with http or ftp. -- Listen do you hear them drawing near in their search for the sinners? Feeding on the power of our fear and the evil within us. Incarnation of Satan's creation of all that we dread. When the demons arrive those alive would be better off dead! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
