It would be particularly helpful if there was a "latest-full-names" directory at the SuSE FTP site that would contain the latest version of all packages. It would, in effect, be a snapshot of what at any moment SuSE considers to be the best system they can provide.
Actually, with 7.1, they went to that. Whenever a package is added to the 'update' directory, the corresponding package in the distribution directory is symlinked to it. So if you point an FTP install at /current/, you'll get as up-to-date a system as SuSE can provide!
I'm puzzled, then, as to why nearly all the links in /pub/suse/i386/current are dated March 16, even though some packages are newer than that. Paul
