I think I like the new YaST concept that will allow me to update everything from YaST. However, I'm not having much luck in adding installation sources. The only one I've been able to add so far is packman. Here's a typical error message. The error message itself is always the same:
Unable to create installation source from URL 'ftp://ftp.oregonstate.edu/pub/suse/'. Details: ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media) Try again? Yes No
I've installed installation sources on earlier versions so I'm pretty sure I know how to do that but, just in case, I went through the Novell Cool Solutions tutorial.
Can anyone point me to a plain-English how-to or point out what I might be doing to get the error message? Any help appreciated.

I've found that some of the paths on the servers are different than advertised. Surf to the actual site and verify the path is correct. For your example you need to drill down into /pub/suse/suse/ for a specific architecture such as i386, ppc or x86_64 and then the version you want (9.3, 10.0, 10.1, etc).

I kinda figured that but the problem is that when I get to a directory named "10.0", there doesn't appear to be any rpm packages in that directory. (Except for Packman which is the only one I've gotten to install.) Usually, there are more directories with arcane names that appear to be meaningful to someone but not to me. To make matters worse, the Release Notes appear to deal with both OpenSUSE and the boxed set without clearly differentiating when dealing with one or the other. Any suggestions on how I should proceed? -- Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
