Listmates, Here is a cure for the only pain I have with zypper. The default repo aliases are unusable unless you like cutting and pasting. The script included below is a script that will rename them to something useful (modify to your personal taste). When done you will have the following zypper aliases: # | Enabled | Refresh | Type | Alias ---+---------+---------+--------+------------------------+ 1 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | kde-backports 2 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | kde-community 3 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | games-action 4 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | database 5 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | videolan 6 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | samba 7 | Yes | Yes | yast2 | main 8 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | mozilla 9 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | mail 10 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | php 11 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | packman 12 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | virtualbox 13 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | wine 14 | Yes | Yes | yast2 | nonoss 15 | No | No | yast2 | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 16 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | xfce 17 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | nvidia 18 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | openoffice 19 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | src-oss 20 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | update 21 | Yes | Yes | rpm-md | x11 The script: #!/bin/bash zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_10.3/ kde-community zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games:/action/openSUSE_10.3/ games-action zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/openSUSE_10.3/ database zypper nr http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/10.3/ videolan zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ main zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/ mozilla zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail/openSUSE_10.3/ mail zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/openSUSE_10.3/ php zypper nr http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/ packman zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUS... virtualbox zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine/openSUSE_10.3/ wine zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/ nonoss zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_10.3/ xfce zypper nr http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3 nvidia zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10... openoffice zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/ src-oss zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/ update zypper nr http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XGL/openSUSE_10.3/ x11 -- David C.
