Addendum to All,
I am alternating between 10.0 and 10.1 discussions and getting thoroughly confused in the process. :-)
The retail equivalent of 10.0 cannot be downloaded from the net, we all agree.
Then what is in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra? It looks to be all the non-OSS stuff, including Sun java. All very confusing, really -- with apparently 3 repositories needed just to get the equivalent of the boxed set (and that still doesn't get you far -- Packman at least is still needed), far too confusing.
10.1 is a little better; it has a GM-extra directory also at suse.com, but it looks to be unnecessary. All of this now seems to be in the inst-source-extra repository on the opensuse mirrors. Packman still needed, though.
What is confusing? If you used M$ you would have to use far more places to gather the software provided by 3-4 SUSE repos. packman will always be needed until the lawmakers stop taking bribes (oops, they call them donations). -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
