Hot, Dang! That worked. That's so easy, it should be posted somewhere, perhaps on Microsoft's home page. :-) In any case, thanks. I can now take the rest of the day off and not feel frustrated.
Much as I agree with your sentiments on how helpful the reply was, the poster does give you the means to do what you want, if you'll do a bit of work. There have been several discussions on adding installation sources in YaST, and you can search on Google for that. Once you done that bit of work, part 2 is as easy as choosing to install new software using YaST. I did this all by hand in 10.0 and this is a listing of the download directory I ended up with. It might not be complete as I don't re-download files that I already have. lame-3.96.1-pm.1.i586.rpm MPlayer-1.0pre7-pm.3.i586.rpm mad-0.15.1b-1.pm.0.i586.rpm MPlayer-1_1.0pre7-pm.3.i586.rpm mplayerplug-in-3.17-0.pm.0.i586.rpm w32codec-all-20050412-0.pm.0.i586.rpm If you can master adding the new source this ought to be easy. HTH, Mike
