Then what is in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra? It looks to be all the non-OSS stuff, including Sun java. All very confusing, really -- with apparently 3 repositories needed just to get the equivalent of the boxed set (and that still doesn't get you far -- Packman at least is still needed), far too confusing.
Just so this thread can be capped off on a successful note. I count the following on-line *non CD/DVD image* 10.0 sources: Packman and Guru: http://packman.rsync.zmi.at/suse/10.0 http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0/ Base Distribution: ftp://{mirror}/pub/suse/i386/10.0/inst-source-extra ftp://{mirror}/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra ftp://{mirror}/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source ftp://{mirror}/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java Supplementary (not "official" or "supported") KDE: ftp://{mirror}/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/yast-source
10.1 is a little better; it has a GM-extra directory also at suse.com, but it looks to be unnecessary. All of this now seems to be in the inst-source-extra repository on the opensuse mirrors. Packman still needed, though.
And the online *non CD/DVD .iso image* 10.1 sources are: **Not available** This was the point where I confused the sources for the two releases when answering Zhang Weiwu's original question. For 10.1, you must download the 'GM' CD1 through CD5 plus the 'GM-Addon-Biarch' images (.iso files,) and either burn them directly to CDs or use makeSUSEdvd. makeSUSEdvd converts the CDs into a local installation source on hard disk that can also be used to burn an installation DVD. Once you've installed 10.1, you can add the following optional installation sources in YaST: Bug fixes and security patches: ftp://{mirror}/pub/suse/i386/update/10.1 Packman and Guru: http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.1 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.1 Supplementary KDE (not "official" or "supported") ftp://{mirror}/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.1/yast-source There! Now did I miss anything? :-) Carl
