Had a look at mirrors search and found that Skynet holds only part of the Linux archive. I have added a more complete mirror in addition to having the skynet ones as then I will at least have a failover for the bits that both sites cover. >> What if a repo isn't available, due to network problems, can another >> repo be added and used as a fallback repo? > > Yes, but search "mirrors" on htpp://en.opensuse.org there is plenty of > explanations. I didn't see an explanation and so I ask again would having two sources that cover the same items create a snafu ie should I rather just delete the skynet entries? It appears not from what I have read on opensuse.org Regards Hylton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
