Does anyone have an idea, why my installation of the opensuse-factory via FTP fails both ways, when going via internet or from my local rsync mirror? When going local FTP, installation complains there are no packages groups available after choosing Gnome or KDE. When going internet the installation just hangs at "Software Auswahl" without complaining.

Wait for the next sync tomorrow, we're currently integrating our new packagemanager,

I thought Friday was the new date?

Factory is synced out more often..

As an update to my comment made in the status meeting, yum does not handle srpm's. I still believe, not for this version for obvious reasons, that being able to handle srpm's through the package manager is a Very Good Thing (TM). Perhaps this can go onto a wishlist for the future... I'll try and put down a good idea of what I think would work, why, etc, and post up a feature request once I can.

Yes, please add it to the wishlist, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
