I was able to download the 9.2 DVD using mc (Midnight Commander). Perhaps a good old fashioned ftp client (called 'ftp') does also work... ;) Cheers, Leen

Call me dumb, but ftp has a 2G limit, wget, until the 1.5 varient has the same limitation. I went through hell trying to download the 9.2 DVD. The solution was to get the latest cvs wget and do an rpm rebuild to create an rpm for installation on the current system. Once done, download was a breeze.

This is old bug. There is a patch, so if you insist to use wget, you'll need to recompile it by yourself. Goolge for it. Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85

ver=9.2 wget -t 0 -m -nH -c --cut-dirs=4 -R "*.src.rpm" ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/${ver}/* The second and third lines are actually one line. This is what I used to FTP the 9.2 DVD iso, which was at least 3 gig in size. Mike
