Getting NetworkManager (10.0 eval) - dasunst3r - 2005-10-20
For those of you who have downloaded the eval version of SUSE Linux 10.0, you can still have NetworkManager! After finding it off the OSS version's repositories, I have figured out all the dependency issues, what commands to issue, etc. Just download this archive at [/url][url=http://zinga.yeungnet.com/linuxWork/NetworkManager.tar.bz2]http://zinga.yeungnet.com/linuxWork/NetworkManager.tar.bz2 , run the script as root, reboot, and you'll be on your way!
The script is as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rpm -e dhcpcd
rpm -ihv dhcdbd-1.6.5-i586.rpm
rpm -ihv dhcp-3.0.3-2.i586.rpm
rpm -ihv dhcp-client-3.0.3-2.i586.rpm
rpm -ihv NetworkManager-0.4.1cvs20050901-2.i586.rpm
rpm -ihv NetworkManager-glib-0.4.1cvs20050901-2.i586.rpm
rpm -ihv NetworkManager-gnome-0.4.1cvs20050901-2.i586.rpm
gtk-update-icon-cache -f /opt/gnome/share/icons/hicolorWith my current skillset in writing shell scripts, I could only write this much. If you want to improve this script, please reply with your improved script (with comments so that I could learn), and I'll pop it in there ASAP! :) And if it works, I would appreciate some words of encouragement/appreciation!

just edited it to stop the HUGE line length ;)
also you can fiddle the expansion to be a little neater.. quick example:
Code:
rpm -ihv {dhcdbd-1.6.5-,dhcp-3.0.3-2.}i586.rpmsee they all end in i586.rpm so you can append those.. also you could use the * for completion if they were the only rpm versions in the directory:
Code:
rpm -ihv {dhcdbd-*,dhcp-*}i586.rpmnice and neat though :)
