Implemented in a slightly different way - we ask to add the ftp trees (currently factory) during install, you should see this first time with Beta1,
Does that mean that I can have the DVD/CD _and_ and FTP tree as installation sources during install?
Yes, in general - just add the ftp tree as add-on media. But the above feature comes at the end of installation.
If so, does the installer prefer a local source, if the versions of a given package are identical in several sources?
I haven't checked. Feel free to test and open a bug.
If so, excellent: this would provide the best of both worlds, in that if the DVD contains the latest version of a package, that local version will be installed (faster and less bandwidth), and if there's an update available on the FTP site, then you get that immediately, without requiring an immediate update cycle.
I agree - but it needs some serious testing, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
