I am ashamed of this begging-like thing, but the package costs half of my salary... so I cannot afford it.

Thanks in advance, Radu

I'm not convinced it's legal for anyone to make isos of 8.2 available for download. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure licensing of some of the packages wouldn't cover that. In a week or two the ftp version of 8.2 will be up, and as you obviously don't have bandwidth issues that's what I'd recommend waiting for. Failing that you could do the ftp install of 8.1 today.

No kidding? Just think a little... just imagine a little that you have a "hi-jaked" salary of about 150 US Dollars per month... Would be, by any chance, SuSE 8.2 one of your priority, in this conditions? Please note that SuSE 8.2 is 95 US Dollars here, in Romania So, happy hi-jacking to you too!!!

So, happy hi-jacking to you too!!!

So you do not read other postings on the list and you top-post and do not trim your quotes. You apparently know very little about SuSE, ISO images are traditionally not available for download. No reference was made to you spending *any* money, just a little time to understand the events mentioned.

Huh? What he's saying is start a new thread so that the messages are threaded properly in certain email programs and on the web archives. It's not that hard. Just take the address down for the list, put it in your address book and then when you want to start a topic send a new message to that address.

Perhaps he can't afford a new thread ? Sorry all, just having fun By the way, as I sort my mail by date of arrival I was wondering if this is a hijacked hijacked hijacked thread or is it a new thread ripe for hijacking? - -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+pX/SBwgxlylUsJARAsnVAJ9NFxCFn+SsrZ9e+Iq8DswoeltcJwCbBAiu UHpHQ5O+bXLIBQBpHPGUD+g= =Qh7W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

LOL. :) It's nice to see some humor now and then. BTW, I sort my mail by date also. I learned along time ago not to use threads. It irritated me when the were broken by mistakes like that. Figured I had better things to worry about. -Trey

There is no solution. There is what works for you, which always comes accompanied by sandy gritty bits. It's called life. Best wishes Timothy Mason P.S. I want to thank James Mohr who took the time to patiently explain about threading and why thread-breaking could be annoying. Although this is the only list - of many - on which I have heard this complaint, I shall take care to keep James happy in future. On the other hand, I think some people on this list were so rude to the Rumanian gentleman that they should be cast into the outer darkness. If you wish to invoke etiquette, you should perhaps take care to be well-mannered yourself.
