Hi Darkelve,

Maybe this link useful for you : OpenSUSE Survival Guide, What a debian Hacker Should Know when Using openSUSE

Check http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage or run zypper –help.

Note that the graphical frontends for packagemanagement do benefit as well from the speedup, it’s just easier to benchmark a command line tool

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to use command-line zypper?

Couple of years ago I used to use urpmi on Mandrake(Mandriva) and now that I’m running OpenSUSE I’d love to have something similar to it.

There’s AFAIK build service project with the 11.0 packages that should run on 10.3 – but it means changing so much in the system (complete YaST) that I would suggest to update to 11.0 instead. Note also that the backport is not tested.

Hi AJ,

Is this possible to get zypper as faster as shown on 11.0 by using existing 10.3 ?
