help needed for setting yast install sources
Dear suse users: I have some problems using yast installation system. My problems are: 1. I can't find kamix if I search for it. However I checked the ftp site and kamix is among the packages there (in SL-10.0-OSS/ inst-source/suse/i586/). Why is it not shown in yast? 2. I would like to downgrade qt3-3.3.5 to qt3-3.3.4. But yast shows only 3.3.5 even in the version window. Currently my install sources are set up like this, in this order, all of them are enabled, refreshing is enabled for all too: 1. ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/ distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/ 2. ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/ distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java/ 3. ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE- Linux10.0-GM-Extra/ 4. ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/ supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/yast-source/ 5. ftp.novell.hu/ pub/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/ supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0/yast-source/ 6. packman.inode.at/suse/10.0/ In the last line there is the suse evaluation DVD but that is disabled.

I use almost the same repo`s (different mirrors) and kamix shows up in YaST for me. Try using the search in YaST and only use mix for the search word and see what shows up. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
SOLVED ... but not explained It seems that there is a serious problem with opensuse mirror at ftp.novell.hu (ftp://ftp.novell.hu/pub/mirrors/ftp.opensuse.org/opensuse/ distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/) If I set only the above install source enabled in yast then no packages are shown in the available column at all. For yast this source is not there. I have set another source, ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/suse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0- OSS/inst-source/ and it works as expected.

Try using the repo as a http source instead of ftp, you may find better results as well as faster connect times. All of my YaST sources are set as http -not- ftp. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

I thought that ftp was superior to http that's why I always set the sources to ftp instead of http. I will try to change to http to see if it is more reliable.
