I'd like to install nano
on a virtual machine installed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP4. There are no package repositories defined in YaST. What repo URL should I use? I can't find any on the web.
Thank you for your help.

I don't know of a repository for this version, but it is still possible to download an ISO.
The name of the ISO is SLES-10-SP4-DVD-i386-GM-DVD1.iso
for the i386 version,
or SLES-10-SP4-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso
for the x86_64 version.
Here are a couple of download links that I found using Google :
It's sad that these files cannot be downloaded from http://www.suse.com anymore... Thanks for the links. I needed the 64-bit version, so I downloaded the second one. I found the MD5 hash of the iso on the web, so I could test it and it was OK. Unfortunately, I could not find nano
, only vi
and joe
were available in the iso.
I tried it but make
fails with nano.h:93:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory

I solved it... Using a "version bisection method", I quickly found that the latest rpm which could be installed without problems was 2.1.7. So I did wget http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.1/RPMS/nano-2.1.7-1.x86_64.rpm
and then sudo rpm -i nano-2.1.7-1.x86_64.rpm

Hmm. "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and openSUSE use zypper for package management and YaST for system administration." from Package and System Management Tools for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and openSUSE

It is especially useful for accomplishing remote software management tasks or managing software from shell scripts. " – DavidPostill – 9 years ago
