Hmm, how do you download something, if the e.g. AVM DSL/ISDN Combo Card driver is missing (like it's the situation here), and that's the only way to internet?
The kmp packages can be made available as a package installation source that can be put on a media.
[...] I really hope, that SUSE get the package manager - before 10.1 release - to the point, where it prevents kernel updates, unless external kernel modules, which are tagged as critical for it's proper operation, are available. Otherwise, automatic updates cannot work, which is the real selling point here..
This is the goal and we'll test this as soon as all pieces are together.
Even if I'm not in a position to comment the way, this decision was made, but it's bad style to do it very shortly before a release - actively preventing concerned parties to catch up / work around the newly imposed issues. Really bad style.
I agree that communication wise we have not done a good job :-( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
