Suse 10.1 query

[_simon_]

Hi,

Just trying the live DVD. Does anyone know if Suse has an equivalent of Synaptic?

[Lord Illidan]

You can use apt-get in Suse! Try googling for apt4rpm.

Otherwise, YaST can be used for package management, similar to Synaptic.

Also, take a look at SMART package manager

I second this. It is very user friendly and it handles dependencies much better then any package management system out there. Does anyone know if it works on Dapper ?

IIRC it may be introduced in Edgy, replacing apt.

having difficulty installing Flock. i get as far as downloading and untarring the .tar.gz file. I see there is a folder called flock with alot of stuff in it.
But i see no README or INSTALL to get further instructions. I tried ./ run mozilla.sh or whatever it was called but that aint worked either.

Can you or someone tell me how to complete this process

thank you

I don't mind you asking in this thread but you may get more replies with a topic that reflects your problem

I have to say I am liking the professional look of Suse very much. I tried KDE on Ubuntu yesterday and didn't like the feel at all, I thought this was just KDE but then I tried KDE on Suse and I liked it a lot - so much so that I am considering using Suse with KDE instead of Ubuntu and Gnome!
