[Wlug] Fw: Missing Inkscape from Suse Linux 9.2: Never mind

[douglas.r.aker at verizon.com]

Never mind.  Got my answer from Novell's website.  My "other thought" was 
indeed correct.  There's tons more software on the 2 DVD's than on the 5 
CD's.  The Novell web page even lists *exactly* which packages the CD's 
don't contain.

I don't have a DVD drive on the Suse Linux 9.2 laptop, but I was able to 
read the Inkscape .rpm file on my Windows laptop which *does* have a DVD 
drive.  Then I ftp'd the file to my Linux laptop and did an install from a 
local directory.

Missing Inkscape from Suse Linux 9.2





Hi All:

Recently, I installed Suse Linux Pro 9.2 on an HP laptop.  The box the 
software came in prominently lists, as an included program, Inkscape, the 
open-source vector graphics editor.  The mystery is that I can find no 
reference to Inkscape anywhere in the system, not even in Yast when 
searching in the "Install and Remove Software" dialog.  Now perhaps I 
messed up and didn't choose Inkscape during the initial install, but 
shouldn't Yast still list Inkscape as a "Not Installed" package?

My other thought is that perhaps Inkscape is included when you install 
from the 2 DVD's, but somehow Novell messed up and didn't include it on 
the 5 CD's.

Thanks,
Doug
