1- i downloaded an icon file that is .zip but know i do not what shuld i do to install it, how can i install new icons?
2- in openSUSE website there is an option for “1 click install” of applications, my question: is there any “1 click uninstall” in openSUSE?
1 it may depend on your desktop or your application and what you intend to use it for. Desktops tend to keep icons together; applications mmay keep them in a folder.
2 No - partly because it is quite difficult to keep track of all the dependencies and make sure you do not remove a library file which another program needs - I’m sure it is doable but I suspect that, for most developers, life’s too short already.
The type of software packages that install easy on openSUSE are RPM packages. Most easy to install them when they are on repositories specialy for openSUSE. The one click install basicaly does two things:
- it adds a repository to your list of repos;
- it installs the intended software from it;
- when you choose that during the install (and we recommend that strongly), it disable (it is not removed, it is still in your repos list when you want to use it again) the new added repo.
There is no one click deinstallation. When you want to deinstall the package, just use YaST or zypper to do so.
RPM files not specialy for openSUSE may install without problems, but they also may ask for other packages that are needed (dependancies). The solution to that might be easy, but it is also possible to get entangled in a dependancy mess.
Next is softwarte that is offered packed together in a file. Most often using tar to pack several files together and then compressed to save space. Often their names end in .tar.gz. Inside can be anything ranging from a ready to run executable to a pack of source and building rules and documentation (often called README) to tell you what to do. Again that may be easy to difficult to impossible (not all those packagers deliver correct products).
You say you have an icon file where the name ends in .zip. you could go there with your file browser (e.g. Dolphin on KDE) and click on it. Dolphin will most probably show you what is inside and even help you in unpacking it.
As you do not tell what you want with those icons, I can not tell you where to put them. Icons are just little pictures, so I guess you can look at them with something like Gwenview.
What does uninstall mean?
E.g. to remove openSUSE completely.
A problem here is that openSUSE during installation modified the MBR.
No, that is not what the OP means. Please read his post. He is talking about a compressed file with icons and he is talking about the one click install of packages.
Dear Henk,
Yes, saw that, in the 1st line and the 1st half of the 2nd line of the original posting (OPG).
But look at the 2nd half of the 2nd line of the OPG

He is not talking of that, read his question again.

As it refers to the reverse of “one click install”, he is not talking of
installing or uninstalling the whole of openSUSE, but of what he installed
by that one click.

Dear Carlos,
Now I get what you, and what probably Henk mean.
Seems that I didn’t read thoroughly enough … sorry.

That is allright.
And the OP did not make it easy by using that eye-soring green in his post

I knew you NNTP people miss the most important way some members here use to express themselves.
i had two separate question:
1- how can i install an icon package that is “.zip” in opensuse 12.1?
and the other:
2- it is solved i think.
Yes, now you see why we allways say: do NOT ask two questions in one thread. People answer without telling on what question and in the end nobody understands anything any more 
We do not know what an “icon package” is. Please elaborate on what yoy eant, what you did thus far to get what you want. What did you download (or whatever) from where. We can not see what you are doing. You have to tell us. When you stay that vague as you are, you will probably never get a usefull answer.
Hi ilAli,
I think I’m beginning to understand:
(1) you have a .zip-file with icons in it
(2) you would like to unpack the archive (or ‘install’ those icons)
and if you don’t like them
(3) you would like to delete them quickly and completely.
Right ?
Are these icons in a format compatible to openSUSE ?
The icons data are not a program, they’re bitmaps in the end.
I don’t know much about icons under openSUSE.
Under older versions of MacOS icons were stored as an additional data
attached to a file, in a separate place, which will be the usual approach.
The question that then remains is about the details of how this is done
(i.e. where exactly the data of an icon is stored),
as well as the format of the bitmap graphics representing the icon.
Under MacOS, icons could be saved together with a (dummy) file,
but not on their own.
Don’t know how that works under openSUSE (KDE, Gnome, …).
Perhaps as a (possibly hidden) file ?
These are the dependencies that in this case would be interesting.
And ‘install’ would then be the wrong word.
Because in the end you just unpack.
In such a case, to completely remove the unpacked items should
be no serious problem, especially if you unpack them to a specific folder,
which you may newly create.
Installing and uninstalling programs (along with the libraries these depend on)
differs quite a lot from this!
Best wishes
Mike
