Cool, though it would nice if it was a 2-page PDF rather than 2x 1-page
ones to make it easier for printing duplex.

Since I'm not familiar much with CLI, I combined the 2 docs using 'pdfsam'; or you can just printout back-to-back.

Nice work, thanks for taking the time to put that lot together.

A handy thing to have laying around .

This is a neat idea.

I think the commands need to be checked for accuracy. I use the Smart Package Manager a lot more than I use zypper (hence I am not very familiar with zypper) but within seconds of skimming I noted the example syntax for "zypper ar" was not correct.

The example given was:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repos/oss

without assigning a name. Does not one have to assign a name, and hence that should have read something like:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repos/oss OSS

I don't have the zypper knowledge to note problems in other areas by reading, but IMHO where there is smoke there could be fire.

Hi,

Looks good, and a nice reference to have when you're new to suse or zypper; however I will be sticking with

man zypper

when I forget something.

Regards,
Barry.

I just found http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage#Cheat_sheet which uses
a different example to the above which is correct.

HTH.

Thanks for pointing out that link!

I also note that http://forums.opensuse.org/new-user-...ease-read.html has a link to Zypper/Usage/11.1 - openSUSE , so we have a link in place for new users.
