yum in opensuse


Hi,

When I type yum install ... in open suse 12.1 I receive the following command:

If 'yam' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf yam

WHY?

In OpenSUSE you have zypper instead of yum to manage packages from CLI, if I recall. Read the openSUSE manuals please.
And YAST is the graphical fronted of zypper.

Regards.

Confirmed: zypper is the way to go.
