John 44 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Open YaST>Software....In the filter menu at the top left, choose search if that isn't already chozen by default. Type gedit and click the search button. Put a check in gedit's box then click accept. Insert any cds when/if asked. You may notice a couple of other items added that gedit depends on.

OSalcido Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 for me I find it better to use rug to install packages rather than slowass yast i.e. rug in gedit Link to post Share on other sites
