I assumed it's Novell getting pushy.
I'd love to hear the logic behind this, I really would. On the off chance there actually is some, that is
Hi Anders Please lets not get personal or assume everyones experiences are like our own. I agree I should leave my value judgement out. The logic comes from my and my company's experiences of doing business with Novell. I was a CNA of our system for 4.5 years.
The script gives you URLs based on geography. When you configure your location in YaST, you are indirectly configuring where your YOU servers will be, since YaST will send this location to the suseservers.cgi script so you can get mirror servers that are close to you geographically. If your list changed, then there are a few things that could have happened: either there were new servers popping up that were closer to you, or you misconfigured your location in YaST
While this may be true. It's not relevant here. System is Suse retail 10.0 Default install and suse YOU updates. Chicago is the closest to me. The new sites offered are mostly on the west usa coast. I don't tweak or create config files. Have no idea why update sites disappeared. The fact is they did. Again I assume its something that was changed in, or by the, the last week or so updates. Tom PS possible relevant Konqueror and kmail both have started crashing a lot in the last week. PPS I have always looked forward to your posts over the years and was very happy you returned.
