[suse 10.0 - Yast2] Downloaded Rpms... Where?

Hi!

I'm just beginning with SuSE 10.0. I'd like to know where does YaST2 keep downloaded rpm's during both Online Update and Software Management installation? If it deletes them, how can I make it keeping rpms somwhere on my hd?

Peace.

Check out this thread. It should give a general idea of what's involved. You actually have to check the option to save(or uncheck the option to delete ) them when you are in YaST software Management and installing a package. If you didn't select that option, they are gone.

That option available during update says: '[] delete source packages after update', so I shall have it unchecked and so it is.
I found update packages here: '/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0-OSS/' . But what about packages downloaded and installed via 'Software Management' menu in YaST (YaST2 package manager)?

Peace.

Install findutils-locate

As su- from konsole, updatedb

Also in konsole, do a search, locate *.rpm.

Nope, didn't find anything, excluding those packages from 'Online Update' which (as I wrote before) are beeing held in '/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/10.0-OSS/'. Tried with 'kfind' run as su in konsole. So how can I make YaST to keep doanloaded packages on my hd (the worst thing is that probably I can't...)?

Peace.
