Success!! ... Again thanks to this mailing list...
To be honest, YaST's reputation is the reason why I didn't try SuSE sooner. I've read a lot of negative reviews about SuSE which focused on YaST's shortcomings.
From houghi: Adding the repositories mentioned in 1.1 should be enough. Adding Packman and Guru will take care of almost everything else.
I didn't have any luck after adding Packman and Guru, but I think they might be important in the future. I left them in my Installation Sources
You also needed to add the thre mentioned in 1.1. Packman and Guru are just an extra for the future. (e.g. the Japanese mirror you use)
I ended up using a mirror from Japan. Then, I had to disable the installation source from the CD media because one of the packages I wanted to install was found there first. It probably would've also worked if I had either moved the CD source down in the list or if I had just stuck the CD in the drive. I just didn't want to rely on the CD because I won't have it in the future. It's on a CD-RW which I want to re-use for other things.
If you have enough place on your HD, you can put all of the CDs content onto the HD, wich will make it a lot faster. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
