Hello, I realized that in 10.1, I am forced to register at Novell in order to be able to activate Yast Online Update even when I chose the OSS version. This made me abort the installation. I am SuSE user since 1995, but I absolutely dislike to be blackmailed to disclose any bit of my privacy. IP addresses (because dynamic) and hostnames (because subject of change) are useless for the spies anyway. Is there a way to circumvent that annoying attempt on my privacy? Otherwise this means goodbye SuSE. I would regret, but other Linux projects do not try to force me to deliver my secrets to them sincerely, E.
