Yast Update Delete problem in 9.2 Pro

I want to install a new binary rpm from my private folder thru yast "install and remove Software" gui.
Added my private folder to "Change Source of Installtion" .
When I bring up yast2, it does not show the rpm from my private folder?
Why?
I did a search also.
Does it do any checking?

Thanks

"When I bring up yast2, it does not show the rpm from my private folder?

When YaST2 doesn't do what you want I think that it is easier to use the command line rpm than to beat YaST2 into submission. You can install the rpm with something like this command:

rpm -i /private/folder/package.x.y.i586.rpm

See man rpm.

Somebody suggested in another forum to do edit/refresh for the source added after adding new rpms. I tried and it worked.

I'm not sure if you can do that in yast.
but you can use kpackage to install your rpms, this works well.
start kpackage, open your rpm and install it.
