I'm trying to do an installation from the 8.2 CD. the network interface works fine, I can ping, DNS lookups... I can't download any updates/patches. From this end, it looks as though the default SuSE server has either changed or gone offline. help? -- There's small choice in rotten apples. -- William Shakespeare, "The Taming of the Shrew"

Please tell us if what error messages, or other program feedback you are presented with. Otherwise we probably can not help. If you are using one of the .suse.com-servers, you may simply be experiencing extreme slowness. Suse's servers are _very_ over loaded. Try a mirror. Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

I expect that the problem was just too many users and I couldn't get on. I switched servers and it's much better. I assume there is a list of mirrors on the suse website. But how do you determine which ones are closest to you?

http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html or within Germany http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/germ_mirrors.html

I put the country that the mirror resides in list. -- -ckm

I never do. I try out some different servers and pick the fastest one. I suggest you do the same. Even if you were next door to the over loaded SuSE server, it would still be very slow. Best regards :o) Johnny :o)

Get netselect from the underneath page (or a newer version, if you search the internet). Netselect determines the fastest server around you... http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=35354 -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
