BTW: The fact that nearly nobody noticed this yet shows that SUSE chose the least important packages to be FTP-only ;-))
Most likely because the DVD9 was not yet publicly available. Or am I missing something?
No, you didn't miss anything. I don't have any DVD9 of 10.1 yet (but it was available SUSE-internally AFAIK).
That was the reason nobody noticed. ;-)
OK, you won ;-) But even the number of "not on CD" complaints was low IIRC.
BTW: There were some FTP-only packages in 10.0 already, but the list was shorter - http://suse-linux-faq.koehntopp.de/q/q-suse100-ftponly.html (headlines in german, but the package list should be understandable for everybody ;-)
Why not point to the URL that is described in the `Release notes`
Because it is another list ;-)
http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/diff_cd_dvd.html
-> shows the difference between the 5 CDs and the retail DVD
And there also is http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/16015.html
-> lists the packages only available on retail DVD (and doesn't mention that many of them are available in the Extra directory BTW) My link lists packages that are _only_ available on the FTP server.
OTOH, some packages are on CD6, but not in Extra...
That should, I think, not happen.
That's why I filed the mentioned bugreports *g* Regards, Christian Boltz -- Ich habe das Gefühl, dass dem DiskDruid der Zaubertrank gestohlen wurde und der so verrückt partitoniert bzw. Mountpoints zuordnet, dass man den bis auf weiteres besser in eine Ausnüchterungszelle steckt. Für professionelle / komplexe Partionierung ist das Ding nicht zu gebrauchen. [Al Bogner in suse-linux]
