Whyle looking through the forums i have come across a few mentioning smart installer what is it (i have a rough idea just need clarification) and how to i get it and install it as it seems to come across as a lot better/easyer to use than yast (i cant get software through yast) [/b]
Its more commonly referred to as the Smart software package manager. An older version of it comes with SuSE-10.1. And 3rd party packaged versions of it are availble on Guru's site.

If one install's Gurus version, it already has a reasonable set of 3rd party repositories installed. There are some dependencies to work thru, but its not difficult.

There are many how-tos for it. Here is a forum neutral one:

I recommend smart.
