I would like to get a better handle on the SUSE oss and non-oss repositories. Are these static ? Yes
If so are they identical to the installation media? Meaning, if I put the installation ISO image on my harddrive and point YaST installation sources to it is their any purpose in pointing to the above repositories? The oss repository that's available from servers on the internet has more packages than what is available on the CD/DVD ISOs.
It indeed makes sense to also add the internet repositories to YaST2's list of installation sources.
Thanks! One more question. If I purchase the Commercial DVD-9 release of 10.2 then is this the same as the repositories or is there still a benefit to pointing to them?
Even the DVD has less packages than the internet repository. (the "commercial" DVD is exactly the same as the DVD ISO you can download on the internet)
So, yes, even when you have the DVD, it still makes sense to add the internet repositories.
cheers The download off the internet is a 3.8-GB DVD roughly for the I386 version. The boxed set has the combined 32-bit/64-bit version with extra DVD's. It is close to 8.4-GB for that version. I was not aware that you could download the boxed version of the 8.4-GB Dual Layer DVD. If so where?
If one purchases the 8.4-GB version and puts that as an image for YaST installation sources is there anything at the repo's that go beyond that? Sorry to be a pest on this but I just want to close the confusion in my head. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
