Hi Luciano

I think this list is pretty much dead now, since the openSuSE project
all but stopped PPC development in 2009. I'd forgotten I was still
subscribed!

The last OSL version I managed to install (on an iMac G5) was 11.0 which
was a few years ago now and no longer supported. I don't think there has
been anything installable since, though factory upgrading may work.

To work through the proxy try the form http://user:password@rest_of_url
(or ftp:// ditto) - this usually works for me.

As far as bugzilla goes, I wouldn't bother.

And your English is much much better than my Italian!
