The command "pin" is not installed by default, but it is indeed included in the DVD. Just fire up Yast and install it.
That's the problem. I can't say for certain if pin is one of the packages omitted from the CDs, but there are a number of packages which I had to subsequently fetch from the network on the systems that don't have a DVD drive. The Installation Server won't take the DVD, so, until I can figured out a way of getting the DVD on the network, I still had to jump through hoops to install a lot of stuff. And the first time through, I did not realize what I was getting into. I tried copying the entire DVD image to a haddrive and share it out on the network, but until I figured out how to mount the dvd over NFS (see the other thread), that was not an option. I just got that problem solved, but that's after my upgrades are complete. My IMAP server is still hosed, and I believe it will stay that way for the foreseeable future. I now know enough to avoid this in the future, but it was quite a surprise to find that my subversion server simply wasn't there, as well as my IMAP server, not to mention a few other odds and ends. I guess I can understand the reason this happened. I know us users put a lot of pressure on SuSE to put out a new, and substantially enhanced release on a regular, and frequent basis. Stuff like this is bound to happen. -- Regards, Steven
