how to install/run Putty on SuSe, where is that mkfile?

dainova · June 27, 2011, 2:13am

Hi,
Actually just started using suse 2nd day after founding that it rated as #1 for laptop.
But how I can make putty work on it, I read a lot of guru’s advices but still need a,b,c step if possible.

I did download gzip, created folder putty-0.60/unix , but I can’t use mkfile(s) on this, or what else steps I can do to start it either thru GNOME or CL?


inux-jeh8:/home/dainova/Downloads/putty-0.60/unix #  uname -a
Linux linux-jeh8.site 2.6.37.1-1.2-default #1 SMP 2011-02-21 10:34:10 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

SOS!!

Are you aware that you don’t really need putty on linux?

On linux any terminal (konsole in kde) can do what putty does, in konsole you would type:

ssh -l username address-of-computer-to-connect-to

There are various other parameters to the ssh command, type ssh --help to look at them

I do of course not know why you need putty since all putty functionality is
integrated in every linux by design, but if you want to use her is the rpm
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:aledr/openSUSE_11.4/putty.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A11.4&query=putty
for 11.4 (provided you use openSUSE 11.4).

Assuming you have packman in your repos, add that using YaST’s repository
management.
