I'm sure nothing's been changed at my end, so what's happening?

I hope that works out quickly! I'm stuck here :)

Thanks, Sergey. I'd better subscribe to opensuse-announce as well. I wonder if that's what Patrick was hinting at? -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes! It has been asked and answered several times in this list >:-)

In that case, please accept my apologies. -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Of course, don't mention it :-) RAID is a redundant array of inexpensive disks. Novell described this as major hardware failure and took two days to replace them, someone on this list even suggested we should just wait mouth shut because their use is free, but the repositories are back now, thanks.

If they restored a backup it is still not work from my location. I can use Konqueror and get to the site, but the opensuse stuff appears to be missing.

Isn't it amazing on how quickly people want free services back online after a major hardware failure? Geeesss, people, give them time to get the parts in, installed, tested and restore the backups before bitching about not having access. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
