ok, so that's why it's not working out of the box.
It would be nice if the installer could give this information, and propose the installation from packman automatically. For installation, it would not be possible due to some legal issues. Recommend users to add the http://pmbs.links2linux.org/download/Essentials/openSUSE_12.1/ and install it manually.
So closed this as won't fix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
