I have been trying to get various things to work on YAST, and went to the linux tutorials on this site but could not find a manual or video for a newbie. I downloaded gcc 3.3.5-5 which I need for the gccg77 install and placed it into my home directory which YAST accepted as a source. But it does not find it and gives me a conflict error.

I just installed Suse 10.0 and had been retired from this for a few years. I have a technical background and know some things, but am not a programmer. That does not stop me from trying new things or trying to figure it out, but I have not found the documentation for YAST on SUSE 10.0 64 yet. Any one be able to direct me to a manual or tell me if Yast has trouble looking at your home directory. I have the rpm's downloaded into a directory set up on Yast sources, so I thought YAST would see it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks. Munichtexan

I found the 9.3 manual very useful.

Here is a good link for using Yast to install from sources remotely.

Thanks, I have been able to set up mirror site locations on YAST source, but even though Yast allows me to set up as a source on local disk directory also -- software install for Suse 10.0 does not appear to see the local disk directory. Presently trying to set up g77 (fortan compiler) which is required for either SciLab or Octave. (g77 is in gcc and I should be able to build it from a gcc source, but Yast does not help -- g77 does not show up as a language option)
