apt-get & suse 8.0 - 1.5Gb download?!!
How do I persuade apt-get that I do not need to download over 1.5Gb as I am running SuSE 8.0 installed onto bare metal? Regards, Sylvanus A.

Do you have ximian in /etc/apt/sources.list? Better remove it because else apt-get tries to replace the better part of the installed packages with ximian equivalents (leaving open the question whether the ximian packages realy are good equivalents - I don't know ;-). Leen
I don't see anything obviously wrong so I've included an extract of the stdout from apt-get and attached some of my /etc/apt/* files.

you need to remove all the deb references from /etc/apt/sources.list and all the funktronics ones, then run apt-get update you should only have the lines about ftp.gwdg.de after you have that working ok, maybe try the funktronics bits again I think you are trying to download a whole new version of everything you have installed, with a custom tag from funktronics appended.

The cause is probably that ximian is in the package list in /etc/apt/sources.list. I think it's better to leave ximian out. Leen
I resent a batch of attached files. This is not proper netiquette! And I don't see that a batch of links to Debian is in the interest of most SuSE users. --doug lots of junk snipped from the following, including all the links and attachments. At 23:44 07/03/2002 +0100, suse wrote:
