"Maria T. Reid"
hi there, i'm sure this is an obvious problem and a newbie issue... but i'll ask anyway after exhausting my online research as a last resort...
i got suse 9 installed fine on my laptop, dual boot system.
however, when i run Yast Online Update I get the following error...
"error Unable to get './i386/update/9.0/patches/directory.3' or to read the directory (socket error: 111)."
has anyone seen this before or know how to fix it? the research i've done hasn't produced any definitive answers. thanks in advance for you time and patience.

Congradulations on getting SUSE 9.0 installed. The patches directory is the first thing YOU (YasST2 Online Update) installs, so it knows what is available to download. The "socket error: 111" is saying the server is too buzy, there is no socket available for a download connection. So try again, or try another server, or at a different time. Remember about time zones. (In YOU there is a window... "expert", where you can change the "mirror" I have often used: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse but sometimes "leo" or "sunet.se" or whatever is better.. Good luck, Friendly greetings, PS post again if it still doesn't work... __________________________________________________________________ Introducing the New Netscape Internet Service.
