All,

I don't think 10.2 tries to automatically add a online package repository during install.

It does, the oss and non-oss repos are offered.

I don't think it ever works for me, and I know the install I just preformed did not give me the option. (Possibly because the onboard NIC card appears not to have been supported out of the box.) (I don't have it working yet.) Maybe I will download alpha5 and try it. If it to fails I'll re-submit a bugzilla like the one that got closed.

Of course you need to have network available during installation for this. How else should the installer know that you can use a online repository.

Ciao, Marcus

I may be in the minority, but if I install onto a new box that happens to not have a Internet connection during the install I would like to still eventually get repositories automatically added. ie. I often seem to not have a valid internet connection during the install (Lack of NIC support, or installing while not connected, etc.). Even a process like the below would be fine for me: I start yast and select installation support. The yast module realizes I don't have an online repository listed, so it prompts me if I want to have one added now. Possible answers: No Never, Not Now, Try now. I select try now and if I have a work NIC and Internet connection I get OSS and non-OSS repository added. Marcus, if I put the above in bugzilla as an enhancement, would it likely get accepted?
