a real noob just need help getting off the ground

im currently using suse9.2 and im having trouble. My friend help me set up through Yast a sever that could search and install all the packages i needed to get most of the programs i was installing to work . well i crashed my computer last night and now i have a fresh new install of 9.2 but for some reason or another the server i have saved cant find the package i need. ive also tried installing the package(libtermcap.so) out right and it still is getting conflicts . can someone help me??

did you try not using yast. open terminal and type without qouotes "you install libtermcap.so" i think that is the command if i remember right. see if that works for you since you cant pull it from grafical.

Do you have the install disk?

If you have it your problem is 80% solved.
Just boot from the install CD / DVD, select "update", follow on until you come to the package selection section, search for the libtermcap package, select it and go on with the process. Once done, you will be able to reboot with everything (hopefully) in place.
