[ale] how to slurp the rpm juice

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Chuck:

Thank You for those answers.

Now SLES is at Tomcat 6.  However there are rpm's and NOT zypper packages
for Tomcat 7 from 3rd party sites, is that right ?

rpm's can cause rpm hell but zypper packages are not available for
downloads then ?

can u not tell SLES, here the rpm for tomcat 7 which needs java so go fetch
that rpm and install that as well ?  yum -i shud do that right ?
