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? :-)
Aooooh, a good surprise to me, you remember like a computer! My dog is fine, thank you. I think he is finer then I am;)
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
Thank you for the hint of getting a DVD, I'll try to download one to see if the files are more complete. But I am sure 10.0 is available for FTP installation, this is what I did for my colleague: 1) set up ftp server for anonymous access. 2) copy the content of CD1 to ftp server root, under CD1 folder; 3) copy the content of CD2 to ftp server root, under CD2 folder; 4) copy the content of CD3 to ftp server root, under CD3 folder; 5) copy the content of CD4 to ftp server root, under CD4 folder; 6) copy the content of CD5 to ftp server root, under CD5 folder; 7) tell the colleague to change install source to ftp, the path is /CD1/ 8) his yast install from ftp just fine. Yast is very smart to find the packages in ftp://server/CD2/ and ftp://server/CD3/ and all CDROM packages.
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.
both are missing in packman, but guru seems to be a good source of a lot of packages, thank you for the info!
