While this may be true. It's not relevant here. System is Suse retail 10.0 Default install and suse YOU updates. Chicago is the closest to me. The new sites offered are mostly on the west usa coast. I don't tweak or create config files. Have no idea why update sites disappeared. The fact is they did.
That is odd, especially given that the mirror server in question is still up and running, and listed on the Novell mirror page at http://www.novell.com/products/suselinux/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.html I don't know, maybe the .gov site requested being taken off the automatic list, maybe there's a bug in the suseservers script, or maybe there was human error involved.
Again I assume its something that was changed in, or by the, the last week or so updates.
Well, the script is supposed to give you the sites closest to you. You could always file a bug for it in bugzilla.novell.com But the script isn't a forcing matter. You can always set YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate and put your own favourite in /etc/youservers
PS possible relevant Konqueror and kmail both have started crashing a lot in the last week.
That's annoying, but I don't see it as connected. The list is fetched by a simple http request by yast, and shouldn't be affected by strangeness in KDE
PPS I have always looked forward to your posts over the years and was very happy you returned.
