We were all aware of that Eberhard, since we all complained about that situation also. Many of us had hoped that would change after they got the bugs worked out of resale boxes. There are many that still desire a sources DVD to be included, but maybe SuSE didn't hear our cries. It sounds as if they may not have heard the pleas for a decent manual (Admin as before Novell) either.
The silent death of the admin guide was a bad decision in my mind too.
Up to 9.3, I could advise interested people "just buy one SUSE box, and you have all you need to become a server admin - experiences with docs".
If the 10.1 box doesn't have the admin book, I think I'm not buying it. I intended to, but if there is no book, I won't :-( No sources, no book... what on earth do I get that I can't download myself?
Also for 10.0, a sources DVD iso was provided on the mirrors, which for those of us with broadband didn't complain. Many don't have the bandwidth to download a large iso.
Many? You are kidding. Most of those "manies" at least have a friend with a DSL connection.
Where? I have none of those friends. As a matter of fact, now that I do have ADSL, a friend of mine makes 200 Km to get the software I download for him... Not everybody lives in the internet era. Not everybody is so lucky. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEZ7g+tTMYHG2NR9URAlfmAJwLAyS2YbWImxqziJUCtHoHZmWTugCfZQlt 1+GiGciC6G0nKQqb7YKMDyk= =X9JW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
