Re: [Lilux-help] suse8.1 yast and ftp help needed

Ah yes, this sounds logic. I will install wget manually (download via ftp and rpm -i). I don't know much about rpm, how does it compare to deb? Would apt be better on package management than yast? Is there a way to tell rpm to automatically solve dependencies? (haven't found such a thing in the man) That's why I want to use a tool like yast, because quite often there is a chain reaction and one has to install/upgrade many packages. I don't have the time right now to try it, but I'll try to install wget first and if yast is still not working I will switch to apt4rpm (found a howto on the net). I like that simple apt-get install package command which I know from debian. I want to avoid everything which involves replacing packages from the base system. Therefore I don't want to upgrade the whole system. This is a production system and if we lose the network connection for some reason (e.g. having to reboot and the system doesn't come up again), we probably will have complaining customers and we do have to ask for a manual intervention from the isp (netline.lu). (many $s and takes time during which the webpages will be offline). I think I will find the time to check this out in a few days, I'll keep you informed. Thanks all for your kind interventions.
