Jessen, You can pull or even install directly over the network from a mirror the full suse distro http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.h... The problem is that novell doesn't populate the mirrors with the installable RPMS until a few months after the official store release. I assume they want to make a little money off the box set before unleashing it for free download by their FTP mirrors. Are you not able to pull from these mirrors? -----Original Message----- From: Per Jessen [mailto:per@computer.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 6:45 AM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: [opensuse] only ISO-format downloads? Is opensuse currently only available as 5 CD images/1 DVD image? - is there no option for just retrieving the entire directory tree? I can make do with the images of course, it just seems a little backward when they'll end up in one directory anyway. (I always install from network). /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution.

Oh yeah, that's not a problem - but what about the 10.0 beta? I thought that would only be at opensuse.org. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - managed anti-spam and anti-virus solution. Sign up for your free 30-day trial now!

Since this is a beta version we are only making it available with ISOs. I hazard a guess that the final will also have an ftp tree. Ciao, Marcus
