[opensuse] installation source
Somehow, I am without an "installation source" from which to get updates. So says my updater. Is there a list of installation sources I can use? I suppose I just lift one from that list and add it to the "update sources" list. Right? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

For versions 10.x (x = 0, 1 or 2), add http://download.suse.com/update/10.x/ as an update source. It's a round-robin server, which will redirect to a server in the pool. You won't necessarily get one close to you, but at least you'll have your updates back. -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for the help. It works, now. However, I ran into a problem after starting the downloads/installation. I received an error message: Cannot access installation media 20070609-144841 CD0. What does that mean? What should I do about it? -- Best regards, Dennis J.

You don't mention the version you installed but newer versions require that you "register" the system and it will automagically add an update source for you. By the way to info you supply is minimal and does not include any personal info. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I found that the x86_64 directory on ftp.ale.org no longer exists so I
had to change installation sources. For the time being I am using
http://download.suse.com/update/10.2/ on my laptop.
It is preferable to use mirrors, but this works, and it performed well.
