What was it that changed again?
Anders, I can't talk to the old FTP setup, nor the above as it stands today. I can say that for the first couple of months age 10.0 was released the above locations were NOT equivalent to what SUSE did with 8.0 -> 9.3 With those releases I could do a basic install via CD. If later I needed to add the yast packages I found of interest I had 100% success install the additional packages via yast and the official online source. With 10.0 I found this NOT to be true. I had several packages I wanted to install to CD only machines. Since the packages were only on the DVD, I tried the above sites you mention. The did NOT contain the packages I was looking for. I ended up buying an external DVD drive so I could move it around from machine to machine so I could have access to the full 10.0 retail package. I consider that a definite step backwords in the SUSE distro mechanism. FYI: I posted about this on this list several times. Typically I used the example of mt_st not being available on the sites you listed, but there were others. Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century
