HI, I tried Synaptic, while it was ok for packages downloaded from RH I can't just do File->Open->SomeFile.rpm->Test Install->install
I want to be able to downloaded an rpm then just install it without these long text commands. with Synaptic I can't even see packages that where not installed by Synaptic. I have installed some software using a rpm file but I cant even see them in Synaptic. > kpackage makes low-level rpm operations too easy Y is that a problem ?
