[opensuse] yast or zypper "sources"
Hello SuSE people, A short while ago I replaced my old monitor and video card. I also had to replace my printer that died on me. (what else can happen?)I have an old 10.2 install that I want to keep but that meant updating the OS to see the new hardware. Naturally none of the software could deal with the new hardware. Now, I know that 10.2 is un-supported but there are repos out there yet for getting newer software. Found them easily enough, using the following url: http://opensuse-community.org/Package_Sources/10.2. When I try to install the new repos both Yast & zypper fail because they can't recognize the "sources". Soooo, how do I convince yast or zypper to let me to designate and use those repos in my Installation Sources?

Sure, in this case is because the repositories went away, as 10.2 is no longer supported, upgrade to 11.1, that can be done this way, and in this order: - Upgrade RPM - install newer zypper - configure repositories in zypper - do a zypper dup - remove "udev" package - change all references from /dev/hdX to /dev/sdX in /etc/fstab and in grub's menu.lst - have a lot of fun. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No no, Cristian. I failed to make myself clear. I already have a running 11.0 (quite nicely BTW) but I want to keep my old 10.2. Have a lot of nice stuff on it I want to keep. I was just trying to get needed software for the new video card and printer. I guess that I thought I was accessing a repo where the old stuff is archived. Guess I was wrong. Guess I need to go search for the right ones. Maybe some kind soul will point me in the right direction?
