[opensuse-factory] Re: Factory source for Internet installation
I've downloaded and installed the CD isos for 10.2 RC1, both OSS and non-OSS. However there are some packages I need and that I don't find afterwards with YaST>Programs>Add-Remove software. These single rpms are however found in the factory links, but which have to be downloaded and installed manually from a terminal: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source... http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-Factory-non-oss/inst-so... Why isn't these sources added automatically to YaST at the 10.2 RC1 installation? I've tried to add them as Yast HTTP Installation sources, but without succeed so far (errors like a server name is needed or url path). Therefor, what is the correct parts to be added as respective server name? url path? Thanks, Terje J.

Don't use the opensuse.org links for your installation source urls since the bandwidth is severly restricted. If you need to add a factory mirror, go to http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_Mirror_List and choose a mirror that's close to you.

Unknown, maybe because it's a test release or a geographical issue.
