Please do not use a mirroring script or a mirror tool against the main site. The easiest way would be to get the files of the files from Sourceforge project page. http://sourceforge.net/projects/susefaq There is also an rpm version of SuSE FAQ which integrates into SuSEhelpcenter making it searchable by any word. For SuSE 8.1 only ==================================== http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/susefaq/susefaq-0.4-1.noarch.rpm?download For SuSE 8.0 and less ===================================== http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/susefaq/susefaq-0.4-0.noarch.rpm?download It is also available via apt just issue apt-get install susefaq In order the ease setting up SuSEfirewall2 there is a document which explains how it works and how to configure. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42064&release_id=116688 There is an experimental (in terms of layout) articles section currently on the following topics located at http://dinamizm.ath.cx/articles and http://susefaq.sf.net/articles * SuSE Bash Initialization * CD Ripping * Apt for rpm * PAM Pluggable Authentication Module * RPM RedHat Package Manager * Open Secure Shell OpenSSH * How to do local YaST2 Online Update * Is my package fixed? Or: How to look into RPMs Most of the Howtos available on the Internet assume that we are using another distro. Hence although the information is there, in order to apply it, one has to understand the details that are needed to make things work as they should do. One of the goals of this project is to explain things in terms that the layperson can understand, using SuSE tools and the SuSE directory structure, along with the SuSE boot concept. Much of this information can already be found under /usr/share/doc/packages. However, it takes a long time before the user finally discovers what is available and where it is located. How can you contribute ? As you will discover while surfing this site, you will encounter some articles are contributed by other people. You too can contribute to the creation of an information rich website making your SuSE experience an even pleasant one.
