As mentioned last week, I'm going now through the feature wishlist and like to give my comments, here's the comment on: ATI-cards support

We're currently testing a solution simila to the Nvidia solution where you download the needed files.

Great.

Could a similar solution be done for mp3 or any of the non-OSS things for SUSE OSS 10.1?

We're making a package repository with those non-OSS things that we are allowed to distribute, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

So then we can add an installation source and install e.g. acroread and opera using yast. That would be my preferred solution.

To be clear. The same solution for all extra packages? Now the NVidea and Microsoft True Types are already available in YOU when you do an update. Will This be happening with mp3, opera, Java, ... or An extra repository for mp3, opera, Java will also include NVidea drivers and MS TT. or There are things that will be handled directly from YOU (MS TT, NVidea and others) all the rest you need to add a repository. The first method would be the easiest for first time users. The second method would be great, as soon as there is one point of contact wich can be added. (e.g. by analyzing where you are and determing what would be your best mirror automagically) The third method is perhaps the best way to do things in a legal way, as not all things can be put online. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
