Just an FYI on YOU for SuSE 8.1 and onward...
Two http:// choices for installation sources for YOU downloads have been added and by my testing have caused a dramatic speed improvement
So I guess you won't be telling us the url's or how to include them in our yast listers so your updates won't be slowed ;-O
Uh, there automatically included when YOU starts up and does a it queary for available servers. I just tried by open YaST and looking at the addresses in the pull down menu - the new ones are there, And it was very much faster.
In a moment of unusual clarity I actually had the good sense to try that before sending my original mail, but the only site listed is the one (I believe I manually entered some time ago) at ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ but no other listings. Unfortunately I don't remember now where I made this entry, but perhaps my changes are keeping the new sites from being listed. This site was generally the fastest response for me, much faster than ftp.gwdg.de.
I fired up yast before starting this mail also, searched around my filesystem looking for yast configuration files,then finished this mail and the (second) requester is still sitting there "Initializing for FTP/HTTP update. One moment please..." I'm a slow typist on a fairly fast machine w/ a cable internet connection :-(
See ya -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
Sorry about my lack of compassion for all of you that no longer have the default YOU Choice of installation sources for ftp/http updates... http://ftp.leo.org/download/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/suse/suse ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse ftp://ftp.rz.uni-ulm.de/pub/mirrors/suse ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/linux/suse.com/suse ftp://ftp.suselinux.hu/pub/suse ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/SuSE-Linux This is what I get. SuSE 8.1, KDE 3.1 from SuSE, etc... Stan
