Yes, and that's how I would have hoped it would work. This way, it's really not much different from what we had before except that you put the mirrors in the order that you would want them tried in case one or more of them is down and the system automatically goes down the list until it runs out of sources or has success. Sounds like a good methodology. Thanks for confirming that that's the way it works.
But I guess that when you start it, yast will ask each mirror for their info or whatever, and you have to wait for the information download for each to complete and then be analyzed, before you can select anything to download. That's one of the reasons it is so slow. By the way, you can select for each independent file from where you want it to be downloaded - I think, it is not clear. I tried that with RC3: I could select to use my local dvd copy or a remote server for each file, they had a slightly diferent version number. I don't remember if the server info could be easily seen or deciphered. Also, from the menu at the top left, there was something to select the server to use for the present run of the yast package manager. But, as I say, this info is from RC3, I haven't installed the final version yet, I don't have time right now. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEi/nwtTMYHG2NR9URAhWtAJsG4qHGPUrOfGA0xDRj+h7yjgDyYgCdH1gr 8BlHJJXdt8ctfkQhgjPGQK4= =LLkq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
