Hi
From previous post the Eval-DVD at the ftp mirrors is exactly the same as the one in the retail box?
I downloaded the above iso and installed SuSE 10. I am missing some packages in my iso like java 1.5 and Thunderbird. Is this how it is supposed to be? If so, meaning the missing packages are expected, what is the url for the directory at an ftp mirror where I can download and install the missing pacakges so that I can add it to Install Sources in YAST? If not.. maybe I downloade the iso too soon and now the iso has all the packages so I should get the iso again and install SuSE again? thanks in advance -H

I'm still of the opinion that not all of the packages on the retail CD are easily found in an official Yast repository. My test case continues to be "mt_st". Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century
