Hello, I installed SuSE 10.0 with 5 CDROMs. Some packages were said to be part of SuSE 10.0 (by novell website), but are not found by using YAST.
Example: gftp, bluefish
try search Novell, gftp should be in /suse/i586/gftp-2.0.18.7.i568.rpm and bluefish also should exist. But I searched all 5 CDROMs, there are no such rpm. Or perhaps my 5 CDROM version is not complete?
Hi Zhang Weiwu,
Nice to hear from you again! How is your dog? :-)
There were too many packages to fit on the CD set. If you download the DVD .iso image, you will find all the packages there. I don't believe that 10.0 has ever been set up for direct ftp installation, so it isn't possible to download the individual packages. Another option would be to look for the packages you want at these sites:
Suser-guru: http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/index.php
Packman: http://packman.links2linux.com/
These are SUSE community members who provide rpms as a service to others in the community. I'm fairly certain the Guru has both gftp and bluefish available for 10.0.
Take care and pet your dog for me!
regards,
Carl
You can also add the below to Yast as sources for 10.0 RPMS. I think everything that is OSS and missing from the CDs is at one of the below. mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source Of course you can use any mirror.
