SLP 9.0 i386.

ftp.suse.com has a supplementary directory for RPMs that are not security or updates. What is the correct path to use in yast2 to collect these packages? I realize they are not supported.

I have tried to get yast2 to see them in

yast2->Change Source Of Installation->Add->FTP

using various directory paths to no avail. For instance using:

/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/ /pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/yast-source

I get the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unable to create installation source from UTL 'ftp://ftp.suse.com///pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/ update_for_9.0/'. Details: Error(InstSrc:e_no_instsrc_on_media) Try again? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------

Can some one give me a pointer to the correct path?

I had the same problem. The solution i found is to download rpms and create a local source. Be carefull that when you add rpms in your local repository information relative to your source is not automatically updated. Hence you must create new source. For information, database for installation source manager is stored in /var/adm/Yast/InstSrcManager (SuSE-8.2)

Do you have to do this for each component (X, KDE, GNOME, GNOME2, etc)?

Shouldn't this be somewhere in the SuSE Unofficial FAQ?

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/README.txt was not of help on how to use YAST to accomplish this.
