Ok, I've recently switched to Suse from Gentoo because I'm trying to convince my company to do the same. I needed knowledge on Suse prior to proposing it.

My problem though is with rpm. I know how to do rpm -ivh yadda-yadda.rpm however, I encountered my first problem today.

I tried to install galeon 1.2.6 rpm but I keep getting a dependency error (requires mozilla 1.1). I prevously install mozilla 1.1 as well as 1.3 via tar/net install (I didn't use rpm because there isn't an RPM for Suse).

How do i configure RPM so that it knows where mozilla 1.1 is? I could compile galeon and avoid this quarndry, but for future reference its a good thing to know. Where is the rpm config file and rpm database, and how do I update this information to reflect my system configuration?

Thanks in advance for your help.
