as a newbee im getting realy frustrated when trying to install software.
Ive given up trying to install using commands, and am now using good old rpm files.
however when i install using yast i get the following problems.
m player for example.
cant install because it needs this programme and this programme to run.
so i download the other software and guess what that also needs other software and that needs other software. i just seem to be going round in circles and then forget what i have actually installed.
is this normal under linux.
and is there an easier way of doing it

"install using commands" ??? wassat? how do you ever install software without "commands" ??

try apt, with the synaptic front end. there's no boudt a guide on setting it up in the LinuxAnswers part of the site here.

Yes use the apt - synaptic programs or YaST2.. They will solve the dependencies.

I almost forgot to add the link for APT and SYNAPTIC:

APT for SuSE

Good luck
