"install With Yast" In Gnome

#1 (**permalink**) 02-Nov-2004, 01:09

Hey... simple question here.

I've finally switched from KDE to Gnome, and I'm likin' it a lot. One of the things I miss, though, is the "Install With YaST" button I get when I right-click on an RPM.

What command can I run to install a RPM with YaST? I know how to do it with "rpm -i", but then I have to go thru running SuSEConfig and ldconfig afterwards, and I'd rather have it done automatically.

Any suggestions?

man yast2
yast2 --install <package>

I just created a Konqueror menu entry in the Gnome Accessories menu with the command:

Code:

kfmclient openProfile filemanagement

I launch it when I want the gui click and install way.

I finally got that xmms-wma RPM installed... one less thing I have to switch players for (I really hate using more than one media player... right now I'm down to XMMS, Xine, and MPlayer... I'm hoping to get that list down to 2)

Thanks, guys. Told you it'd be easy.
