I am trying to install a diabetes program using wine and i need to have jre 1.6.0_07 or above and in a dos invirionment 6u17 worked very well.
how can I from a terminal install that version?
it has been awhile since using suse and does yum mot work anymore?
any help would be appreciated.

From man rpm:
QUERYING AND VERIFYING PACKAGES:
rpm {-q|--query} [select-options] [query-options]
From man zypper:
Query Commands
search (se) [options] [querystring] ...
Search for packages matching given strings. * (any substring) and ? (any character)
wildcards can also be used within search strings.
Results of search are printed in a table with following columns: S (status), Catalog,
Type (type of package), Name, Version, Arch (architecture). Status column can contain
following values: i - installed, v - another version installed, or an empty space for
neither of the former cases.
BTW, yum was never the official package manager for (open)SUSE.
