Attempting, tho not doing well at it.. to install the MS fonts on a system because they are needed to accurately display some documents and the user just wants them. When I do the Yast Online Update, right after I did a fresh 10.0 install on an ath64 box, the script "fetchmsttfonts.sh" tells me to read the Eula carefully and then it gags and tells me it can't get them ... no reason it just can't and I can skip or abort..
I seem to recall this happening in the past. And IIRC MS had moved the files to some other location. But right now that is all the input I can give you.
I've had this happen a few times after install. Usually I find that going back and selecting a different download server sorts the problem out. I don't know what is going on but I suspect that there is a simple time out at the server I chose in the first place. Heavy load perhaps or routine server maintenance? -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
