And you are posting this to the SuSE list which does not pertain to OpenSuSE, why? This list is for questions pertaining to SuSE versions up to 9.3, so you might want to redirect your thoughts to the OpenSuSE mail list.
Hello BandiPat, That is not indicated here: http://www.opensuse.org/Communicate#SUSE_Linux_Mailing_Lists This list is the first one mentioned on this OpenSUSE communications web page.. Maybe you work for Novell and can see that some OpenSUSE mailing list gets created and linked to from this page? If there are indeed OpenSUSE specific mailing lists, I wonder why they aren't mentioned? Hmm.
Oh, did you check with someone first to see how many of these will be provided to you by SuSE or other sources when the boxed versions come out?
How would I go about doing that? It sounds as though you are implying that these packages are either left out on purpose in order to drive sales of commercial SUSE releases, or that there are some legal liabilities with distributing these packages in a free distribution. Care to elaborate? Thanks, Miles
