Last time I checked I had SuSE 7.0 floppies which refused to install from a publicfile server (DJB software) in FTP mode. Neither did I check HTTP mode nor SuSE 7.1 floppies.
Is "publicfile server" an ftp server software? Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't know it...
It's a tiny and thus (said to be) fast, secure and reliable HTTP and FTP server. It depends on your needs whether you find its readonly (anonymous, no authentication, no PUT / POST / etc) as well as "pure documents only" (no scripts, no pipes, no gimmicks) mode of operation to be advantageous or not. Find more info about it at http://cr.yp.to/publicfile.html (it obviously serves DJB's domain, he's known for using his own software:>).
I've fixed a bug in the mirror.pl script lately, it might be a similar problem with yast. But we don't have any bug reports concerning ftp installation mode.
I will contact you off list for this. It's more of a feature request than a bug. Apparently "everyone else" runs different FTP server software. :) virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
