YaST: Installing non-CD-ROM packages

Support knowledgebase (yast_paket_einspielen)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions up to (including) 7.3

It is possible to install packages that are not part of the CD-ROM. e.g. update packages that you obtained via ftp.

You should use this method rather than installing packages manually. YaST does several checks, post install tasks etc. which would not be done otherwise.
