How can I get the latest version of the SuSE packages via ftp? I went to the SuSE ftp site and tried both the 10.0 directory and this one:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/current/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra
All I found there was a small subset of the packages on the DVD. The 9.3 directory seems to have the full set, but of course it's older.
And a related question: is the correct directory to specify to Yast the one that contains a "media" subdirectory? The listing of mirror sites at SuSE doesn't give the full path that Yast wants.

Paul, You can use any of the mirrors. Just make sure you add the "inst-source" and "inst-source-java" directories to your yast install sources. Such as: mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source mirrors.kernel.org/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra -- David C.
