Is there a specific reason why on the FTP install source I have much more RPMs available than on the DVD ISOs (x86-64).
33GB vs 4GB(9GB) FTP vs downloadable DVD(DVD from the box)
I ran into this issue as I wanted to install a game I received on a CD and wanted to compile it. Missing dependencies SDL_mixer for example.
Ok.. I know SDL_mixer is installed but of course not the devel package (as per default). So adding it using from the DVD and... uups: no devel package around!
Unfortunately, I don't have internet access at home yet (where I wanted to update these packages) and thus I only could try in the office to find these packages.. and to my surprise, they are available on the FTP Mirrors in the "inst-source" directory.
just by counting, I have seen that there are more than 2000 RPMs more in the FTP Source.
- What else am I missing on my installation now? - How can I easily add the missing things to my installation source (I copied the install dvd on my local HD).
mirror the inst-source directory and carry it home. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
