I think you assume I know more than I do.

I double clicked on the links for 9.1 and i586 and when it said open with what 
package I said YAST.  It Downloaded something and went away.  I did it on 
both the perl-spamassassin... and the spamassassin... I don't know what 
happened. It does not show up in YAST.

If I copy it down, where do I put it so YAST can find it?

Same with any RPM?

I found a boat load of RPM's on 
ftp://ftp.empiricalnetworks.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/ 
I tried double clicking on the spamassassin and yast said  I needed 
perl-spamassassin. I double clicked on perl-spamassassin and it said I needed 
two other packages.  Do I have to step through all of the packages manually? 
I thought the whole idea of RPM's was to keep you from doing that.
