Hi guess, I feel like a noob asking this question but i feel that i might not be seeing somethign and i need an extra set of eyes.

When I downloaded an RPM (ati drivers) i opened them and told YAST to install the rpm from krpmview. Now when YAST loads up with i guess my rpm, everything in YAST is blank, no rpm listing no file listing, nothing. All that is in yast is Search: in one frame and all the other frames are blank except for my hard drive status frame.

and when i accept the installation YAST thinks that its installing something but it really isnt.

I really want to install rpms other than what suse has given me, please help!!!

thanks

I am not sure what if means to install something from krpmview and why you opened it.
Have you tried to install the rpm by simply clicking it?

I was confiused, then i first used yast, just simply press next (or accept ) at bottom.

Type the name of the rpm you want to install in the search window and press enter. The rpm will be highlighted with a checkmark in the window on the right. Click accept.

Thanks pilotgi. This has also helped me. divali.
