will skype not be on the DVD for 11.2?

Skype was never (IIRC) on any DVD or online repository.

Hmmm. I am sure that I installed skype with yast2 on my 11.0.
And I have only openSuSE repositories installed and the packman repository
but
packman doesn't provide skype.

So where did it come from?

Karl

Skype has always been available from skype.com. With 11.0 I already had
skype installed before the update or where I did a fresh install I
downloaded from skype.com.
Skype is a proprietary binary only, so even if it were on a non-free
repo, it would be exactly the same. It has nowt to do with openSUSE and
can't be changed.

Sid.
