I'm kind of frustrated. I often need to install something and don't have the DVD (10.0) handy. I have added pretty much every installation source I can find, yet the DVD is still being asked for. How can I get rid of SUSE asking for it? Here are my sources: 1. Guru 2. Packman 3. SUSE: /i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra 4. SUSE: i386/current/inst-source-extra 5. dvd dev/hdc 6. /home/kai/downloads I've looked for other directories with yast-source in them, but I can't find any. what am I missing?

Thanks for the tip, but when I disable that source, half my choices disappear. For example, I'm realizing that I need php4-session for running Xoops locally. (Several of my websites donutmonster, perfectreign, gamephreakz (offline), livebeans... run Xoops.) So, I guess I'm still stuck needing the DVD.

Well, here - http://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/i386/ - for example. I look up and down for directories with the file, directory.yast and all I've found are /current/inst-source-extra, /current/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra, and supplementary/misc/update_for_10.0/yast-source/ Any other places for the DVD files? :) -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Can't you just copy the DVD to your hard drive and point yast2 there? I think several have done that. Lee

Not unless you're using packages available only on the commercial DVD.

Actually, kind of unrelated to those above (most of which I have already), I did a serch on pbone.net. It occured to me that instead of SUSE 10, I should look in the opensuse directory tree. So I went ahead and added http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/ to my sources and that worked. Now I have all (or at least most) of the packages I need. Thanks!!

Hello, None of these above contain the base OS and most of the official suse packages. Suse hasn't released an ftp version of 10.0 yet (and it seem he won't). However you can add the opensuse package source instead. Here you can find links: http://www.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories You should also add the java-install sources. Here is an example: http://suse.inode.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst- source/ http://suse.inode.at/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst- source-java/ Cheers, IG ________________________________________________________________ Sub Bass Monster: új album 4 év után!

Ummm.... yes they have, it is called the OSS version. Have a look at opensuse.org.

There are many more repos so check opensuse.org for more and as others have stated check the mirror close to you. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
