You have to enter /suse/update/10.1 as path.

Please, (you) enter correct settings in Service URI and Service Name , so I can understand better what you mean, I tryed something similiar but it won't take it.

It will not accept those settings. This is why I find Suse so hard to setup mirrors on internet. Thanks Jim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

I do not use this Yum, so I am not familiar with what it wants as "Service URI" and "Service Name".

But I can tell you that

http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.1

is a proper update source (containing a repodata directory, so prepared for Yum). You can add it as a YaST installation source, too.

In yast2 you have the "ServerName" and "Directory on Server" and what ever you put in it won't accept. http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.1 There has got to be a better way. Thanks for your help guys.

So there is a mistake on your side...

It works.

Cheers -e

I think this is what jim is asking: (I may be wrong.) *adding a YaST2 (YUM) installation source. Type = http Server name = ftp-1.gwdg.de Directory = pub/suse/update/10.1 DAVID --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

Yes instead of adding HTTP or FTP, select the "Specify URL" This just takes the URL, nothing else and enter http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update/10.1/ you can try other mirror, but we know this URL works (I just did this one myself about 15 minutes ago) Pflodo Peter Flodin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org

It has also an option to simple to add an URL, it is last option in the "Add Source" menu. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
