Doh!  You caught me.  Maybe it was because there was no rsync site in sight ?
;)

I actually did find a couple, they have a list on their website.
I may be wrong, but I think their tools are freely redistributable 
(in binary), just not GPL'ed, which may account for the lack of 
source for things like YaST.

It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.

 If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

  "sight"?  ;-)

  Seriously, I believe SuSE imposes limits on what you can do with their
distribution, since it contains their intellectual property (YaST and other
components).  I believe that includes limits on redistribution.  That might
explain the dearth of mirrors.

  This is all based on my very vague memories of when I looked into this
some years ago, so it could be wrong.
