RPMs

This can be useful for those who had problems installing programs in openSUSE 10.2 (in my case, YasT is somehow crashing very often).
To install rpm package:
rpm -ivh packagename
To upgrade the package:
rpm -Uvh packagename
To remove the package:
rpm -e packagename

If you not sure that your package is installed, there is a way to see it:
rpm -qa packagename
There can be problems to remember full name of the package since it is having all those version numbers etc.etc. so instead of writing out whole name, you can do next command:
rpm -qa | grep SomeKeywordOfWantedPackage

Cheers!
