Really easy smart for openSUSE how-to

[Alessandro17]

This how-to is meant for openSUSE 10.2

 

Install smart from the DVD (but not smart-gui yet)

 

Now upgrade it to smart-latest.rpm:

 

for 32bit:

 

# rpm -Uvh http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/smart/10.2/i586/smart-latest.rpm

 

for 64bit:

 

# rpm -Uvh http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/suser-guru/smart/10.2/x86_64/smart-latest.rpm

 

The most relevant repos are already there.

 

(You can also install RPMs with Kpackage, instead of the command line, but you need to install it first, from the DVD: kdeadmin3).

 

Next:

 

# smart update

 

# smart install smart-gui

 

From there it is easy to enable/disable channels (Edit-> Channels).

I have the kde-community and gnome-community channels disabled.

If you want a really rock-solid system disable suse-kde as well. Leave only suse-kde-backports enabled.

Everything else should be safe enough.

 

(For those who don't know: # means what should be done as root).
