opensuse wiki may help.also for s/w updates :( u have to use yum update manager and have to add repo for 3rd party plugins :( and obvsly it is a rpm distro :( good thing is yast-but it will eat time for all those configs.
it is really hard to shift from a debian based distro to rpm or tgz.

^^ya it is that's why I am a bit sad :( btw any idea abt.. Partitions and resolution ;)

What Say abt. Mandriva or Fedora ::?

Codecs (http://opensuse-community.org/Restricted_Formats)

it is really hard to shift from a debian based distro to rpm or tgz.

You can easily mount partitions through yast.

Now hot to install .rpm package :p

[kalpik]

rpm -ivh <filename>.rpm

[praka123]

fedora used to allow double click install UI.i hope open suse to got such a UI.

[Dark Star]

rpm -ivh <filename>.rpm

error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000

Put the file in /home/shashwat and done what you said and got the error :p

@ praka123 No there is no such privilege in open Suse that's why d/l Fedora 8Beta 2 :p

[kalpik]

^^ have to do it with root privileges.. so do a "su" and enter your root password before typing that command.

[praka123]

stick with a distro dear shashwath :D ,it helps learning.if u really want,why dont try live cd's.

[Dark Star]
