Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer
Q:
AA wrote: Where are the apps in 9.2 DVD ISO? I downloaded and installed SUSE 9.2 from the DVD ISO (SUSE-Linux-9.2-FTP-DVD.iso). However, the software selection was very minimal, unlike the 9.1 DVD. What should I do? For example, I could not find Scribus or even MySQL on it through YaST.
A:
Look in the directory setup/descr/ at the file packages.en on the DVD. Open it in a text editor and use Edit -Find to do a non-case-sensitive search for the packages you want. If they are there, you can find them on the DVD and click on each one to install it. If not, you can try to find an rpm on the web, by doing a search for "packagename rpm" in Google. Stomfi
