With earlier SUSE versions I have added the online FTP server to my list of install servers and downloaded individual RPMs from there. I find this easier than having to get out the CDs/DVD. With 10.0, I have not figured out how to do this. Specifically, I want to add xfsdump and any dependencies to one of my machines. What online repository has the full set of normal rpms in it?

I have tried most of the choices a few times, no joy. I have found the APT repositories seem to have everything, but the Yast repositories seem to be missing most everything. Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century

I'll second this question. I have the DVD handy, but would like to not need it to install. I currently have in addition to the guru and packman sources.. /suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra/ /suse/i386/current/inst-source-extra Now, according to the suse website, I can add three repositories to get all. but I can't find these: <quote> There are three installation sources that can be added which will give you almost everything the boxed version has to offer. Depending on the mirror you are using, the first part may be different. The directories are: * opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source * opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java * suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra </quote> -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Kai, I still don't know about a way to get this from Yast, but the APT repositories seem complete. If your running the GUI, Paul Cartwright recommended smart to me and it works very well. smart even knows about the basic apt channels, so you don't have to know any urls after you get it installed.
