The ftp function wasn't in the the CD version of 8.0, that's why the ftp version was delayed for a month.
You can try replacing all of your yast2 packages with those from the ftp version in order to be able to use ftp as an installation source but I don't recommend this if you are using the German version or aren't exactly sure of what you are doing.
I seem to remember a mention here of an rpm command which would install all RPM's in a given directory, but I can't find the reference right now, and 'man rpm' didn't give me a hint. I tried: # rpm -F ftp://ftp@ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.0/suse/yast1/* ..and also the same command without the trailing '*', but no go. Could someone help me with the correct syntax? Rick Green
