currently I don't have an internet connection at my system.... so I can't run the software installer in suse... can I use rpm packages for any other distribution in opensuse????

and I need vlc player for suse since its not playing any media files by default....

What you did is not clear. If you read the thread carefully it's easy. Else see my website, I have the same thing less cluttered there.

i opened the page *packages.opensuse-community.org/

since I need vlc player, I searched vlc der under opensuse.

I got many links out of which 1 was the media player. There was an Install icon to the right of this. I cicked on this link, and a save file dialog box appeared... I saved the file and its size was only 1 KB..

I have visited your website....here in my office, the download links are blocked....anyway thanks and nice website...created using joomla???

You would get direct rpm links through *software.opensuse.org/search but vlc is not listed there, so you can directly go to *packman.links2linux.de/ :)
