Hi, A friend of me, gave the 5 cds of suse 9.2 to install them. I am a suse user since version 8.0, and the the past two versions the installation have been made from the dvd's (version 9.0 and 9.1). I noticed that from the version of 9.2 a lot of packages are missing (a lot of devel packages) and ,one important package for me, the gcc-fortran. I searched the package list on the net and found that for example fortran is on dvd1. So, does the cd version os suse have less

Yes, the cd version has less packages than the DVD because it was impossible to fit it all on 5 cds.

I may be wrong, but that also happened on 9.1. One example is Eclipse. If you try to install it using the CD's, is not there, but it is on the DVD. regards, Riccardo

How about a list of those neglected from the CD for those of us who do not have DVD. Then we can know which to download off the site.

I know gftp seems to be missing from the CD install...

Hi all! I have been running PostNuke on SuSE 8.0 - 9.1 at home. Now i upgraded to 9.2 and PostNuke wont work. Reinstalled the whole machine!!!

So please, anyone, what should i do with my apache/mysql machine to get PostNuke to work. Regards /Mattias

Hi, instead of :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in /srv/www/htdocs/postnuke/install/newinstall.php on line 37

try the same syntax with mysql_connect() take a look at : http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-pconnect.php

The problem lies with the developers of php - who think that 'backward compatibility' has to do with driving a car. You're stuck until you learn enough php to recode the things that don't work any more. This happens, to one extent or another, every lousy time they update php.

Personally, I gave up on php several versions ago - after the THIRD time I had to rewrite the EXACT SAME application. Welcome to the club.

Could be. I've noticed the same thing on 9.1. Are they on the ftp site? If so, just point Yast to it.

Only the 9.2 source RPMs are available on the ftp site so far... Probably later this month they'll show up eventually.

Are *all* source packages present? I miss e.g. kdeartwork3... Cheers, Leen

I would like to know what thinks SuSE about to release torrents with these 3 CDs. Without the 5 Offcial CDs nobody can Install SuSE, but if you need to use some development packages you will be in problems if you can't read DVDs.

If they're GNU-licensed apps, just do it. If they don't happen to like it, there's not a lot they could complain about.

The problem here is I don't know which packages are free to distribute and which no. As other user said in the list, there more than 1000 packages lacking in the CDs. When I decided what packages to put in CDs, SuSE already released its FTP version.

Did they toss the FTP version out there already? I looked on suse.com/pub/suse/9.2, etc... just yesterday and saw only the source RPMs...

Yes, there are 1621 rpms on the DVD that aren't on the CDs. I have a list on ftp://rydsbo.net/pub/CD-DVD-diff

Interesting. Just being curious, is there a difference in {,no}src packages between the DVD and the (current) ftp version? Cheers, Leen

I hope I can install those online. Otherwise Ill have to network with someone who has a DVD on their system. I wish Suse would wake up and realize not everyone has a DVD or offer two versions one without DVD but all software and sources. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/

ooh goody, then there would be, oh 15 cds in the package?? I believe they ( Suse folks) said something when they first began using a dvd as install media that they wanted to do something w/ all the extra space on the dvd, and give a little reward to the earlly adopters... or something like that. ( It was a while ago. 8.0 7.x ???) I've slept since then and need to be retrained <VBG> -- j -- nemo me impune lacessit

Still the priority of certain Packages on the CDs could be looked into. Quanta, Bluefish, and Scribus are all missing from the CDs and seem to be somewhat popular. Though I think they intended to remove package groups instead to keep things tidier.

Agreed... It's rather disheartening to have to keep 8+ gigs of install source on a network drive just so I can install all the stuff on my laptop.
