new at this.
I installed 10.1 and in the process added wine as an addition.
I know that it is in /usr/bin
since it is on the hard drive I opened a terminal and under su tried to do yast -i wine
it comes up looking for cd1.
I used a dvd to set up the 10.1 but putting the dvd back in does not satisfy the request.
also from a command prompt the structure to execute a program.
In the past I have set up icons on the desktop and run appts. but suse seems different from say mandriva or fedora.


any help would be appreciated.

I haven't tried SuSe 10.X yet, but I'd think you could go into Control Center - YaST modules - Software - Install and Remove, and change the source of packages from cd to dvd (or at least be able to add dvd to the source list).

You can run "kdesu /sbin/yast2 inst_source" to change your installation sources.

If you have a very large hard drive, you can copy an image of the DVD to disk and use the .iso file as an installation source.

Thank you jschiwal and bigrigdriver for the response.
When I did the install I changed the software area and added several things such as kernel-source and gcc+cc and also added Wine and Thunderbird. So I figured that it should have the file on the system and I should be able to use the -i and install it or am I missing something here?

After fixing the installation sources you should be able to type in "sudo /sbin/yast2 -i <package>" to install. There is a "refresh" option to reread the source. That might help.
You can also run "kdesu yast2 sw_single" as a shortcut to run the YaST2 software installer GUI program.
Or you can run YaST2 from the menu.
