Architectures; was: (Should we use jigdo?)

Christian Boltz alekhiit:

As Anders already wrote, "noarch" means packages that are not specific to a cpu architecture (i586, i686, x86_64). Examples for noarch packages are scripts, manuals and language files - they can be used on (or: are needed for) every cpu architecture.

Why 1.4 GB? Just have a look at the SuSE 9.3 DVD ;-)

Vielen Dank für die Erklärung! :)

3.5G suse/i586 15M suse/i686 1.4G suse/noarch <--- here it is 27M suse/setup 2.9G suse/x86_64

So basically there are three possibilities: install on i586 => noarch + i586 install on i686 => noarch + i586 + i686 install on x86_64 => noarch + x86_64 Would that be about right? -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org
