In the Cool Tools part of Novell's SuSE website, someone submitted a pair of shell scripts to import/export software installation sources into/out of YaST.

Download the scripts from this page. Just be sure that after you extract them, you set them as executable.

To export your sources from one machine:

exp.sh sourcelist

Then copy the file sourcelist to the new machine and run:

imp.sh sourcelist

Then jump into YaST and verify that the sources are indeed there!

I might have to put that one on a USB stick. Smile

Thanks!

If you want to check out what's going on in the world of Linux LiveCDs, you need to head over to FrozenTech's LiveCD List.

It should definitely keep you busy for a while. You can play with the filters to narrow down your choice of LiveCD, and there's even a link that takes you to a page of resources in case you want to make your own!

Hard to believe this thread is darn-near 5 years old... Very Happy

Anyway, from this post above:

No, but Xming is. When I find myself stuck on a Windows box, I'll usually install Putty and Xming. They work really well.

Forget what version of openSuSE you're running?

cat /etc/SuSE-release

...will spit back the version information.

Need to hunt down a binary that's somewhere in your path?

which binary_name

...will tell you.

For instance, I always seem to forget where kpdf is when I need to find it for Firefox.

which kpdf

...lets me know it's in /opt/kde3/bin/kpdf.

Joining files that had been split with HJSplit:

cat file.001 file.002 file.003 > output_file

If the split files are all in the same folder, you can use a wildcard:

cat file.* > output_file

If you want to make Linux Live USB keys; I found a program called UNetbootin. It will download the distro and set up the key if it is blank. I would remove any U3 software from it, and re-format the key with the HP tool first. UNetbootin can also make anti-virus USB keys too.
