?? I don't speak about cd's, only rpm. I only look for a way to know what is what.
It's also possible to quote it in the file name and to have all in the same directory, as Houghi said
I said to have it all in one directory. Not to have it in the file name, or whatever. There should be only two ways. 1) FTP + boxed set. That has it all 2) ISO download. Does not have it all. So that way if it ain't on the ISO, it is on the mirror. What could be done is use ARCHIVES.gz not only for those things that are on the ISO, but also include things that are not there. e.g. it now says: ./CD1/suse/noarch/update-desktop-files-10.1-36.noarch.rpm: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3321 Dec 1 07:07 /usr/share/update-desktop-files/templates/Internet/Terminal/slrn.desktop ./CD3/suse/noarch/susehelp-2006.04.25-3.noarch.rpm: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 213 Apr 26 02:00 /usr/share/susehelp/meta/Manuals/Productivity/slrn.desktop ./CD4/suse/i586/slrn-0.9.8.1pl1-11.i586.rpm: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 26 00:02 /etc/slrn ... It could add e.g. ./non-oss/... opera.rpm ./FTP/... java.rpm ... That way you know where to get stuff. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
