Guest Graeme43 Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Hi, i have the SuSE 8.2 Live Eval CD and was trying it out to see if i got sound ( yep :D ) But when i try to install a .rpm by doubleclicking it ( dont know how else ) I get this : <home/graeme43/Desktop/amsn-0.71-1.noarch.rpm';echo RESULT=$? failed to open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm: Read-only file system error: cannot open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm RESULT=1 :shock: PS: does anyone know where to get a non live eval of SuSE? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 That's because the Suse 8.2 live eval cd will only run what's on the cd. It does not allow you to install or change any packages/software. It creates a simple config file on your hd of hardware info and that's it doesn't install anything else to the hd. It's intended for evaluation not as a day to day setup.
