[opensuse] No updates?

I've installed 10.2 from the DVD I made from the iso image. I've configured update sources, yet as ancient (in computer time, anyway) as 10.2 is, zypper always tells me there is nothing to do when I try it: Restoring system sources...

Ciao, Marcus
I'd recommend http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/suse/suse/update/10.2/ http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/ftp.suse.com/suse/update/10.2/ http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/update/...

Grrr... That's just the one it picked for me automatically when I went through the update configuration. I guess I'll change it and try again. Thanks for the info. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are there really no updates yet from the original DVD iso image?
Install smart package manager and you will find that there are lots of upgrades. I followed all the instructions when installing 10.2 just to see if the zen/rug/whatever-the-mess-is-called would work as promised but it has been sitting here with not a damn peep out of it so I installed smart (as I did in 10.1) and 10.2 has been upgrading almost on a daily basis.

This will not help with above mirror, who is just not up to date.

I'm using the one available at <ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/suse/update/10.2/> and already had a bunch of updates for my installation of openSUSE 10.2, e.g. Firefox, GPG or ImageMagick.

Definitely not. If you want to be notified for available (official) updates, subscribe to the SUSE Security Announcements list.

Yep. I ran the online update configuration again, and this time it picked the gatech one, and I was able to get some updates installed. That must mean gatech is in someone's mirror list somewhere, or it wouldn't have found it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
