Hey roman. Well, I finally received my copy of SuSE 7.0 for intel.. A clean install from DVD worked beautifully on my main workstation, as did an update from 6.4 off CD on my notebook... I even have the ftp version running AOK on my Sparc, however I am at a loss to find a version of SuSE 7.0 for my new alpha :( I have checked a couple of the mirrors, plus ftp.suse.de and ftp.suse.com. If you can point me in the right direction, I would be stoked (as I won't have to install RH6.2-Alpha *grin*) Anyway, onto the security Question... (this being the security list and all) After installing SuSE7.0 from CD/DVD and manually installing the updates from the /updates folder on ftp.suse.com I then thought what the hell, lets test out the new cable modem, and did a complete system update from the ftp server. I noticed however, that while most of the rpms on ftp.suse.com ARE newer versions than on the CD, some are the same version with a newer timestamp, and some are not in sync with the ones in /update Any chance of an explanation of with the different versions???

Hi,
as some of you might have noticed already, the German SuSE-7.0 ftp version is out (it has been published on ftp.gwdg.de, all mirrors should be in sync by now, see http://www.suse.de/de/support/download/ftp/inland.html). As usual, the German version has all the crypto packages included.
By consequence, the crypto packages on ftp.suse.de:/pub/suse/i386/7.0 will disappear by the end of this week.
We are sorry that it took so long until the ftp version came out - there is a whole variety of reasons responsible for this. Future versions of the distribution will be published on the ftp server(s) after a period of about two to six weeks, if everything goes right.
Thanks, Roman.
