And I've had an especially hard time using V10.0 - since there was no way to override the gpg check via YaST (though negating the gpg checks isn't preferrable either because one could get nasties that way). There was a recent post on the Beta list about the problems with the mirrors and gpg/authentication checking - so they are aware of the issue. And IMHO it's much improve since its first inception. However, problems persist. So, we wait and hope for a resolution. As they said on the Beta list - they're trying.

Yep, if you add the Packman repo to the installation source you'll get it. Works much better than previous iterations IMHO. Also a new game that's a real time strategy game ported from windows is available as well - WarZone 2100 (command and conqueor type). Works nicely as well and fun! I have been unable to add a new installation source in YAST and wondered if you could use adding the Packman Repo (an often mentioned resource) as an example of how this is done. I've not had success after reading the Start-Up guide and tinkering a fair bit. I am sure I am just missing something simple. Thanks.

Unknown source type... What Curtis said too. Opening those links in a browser should get you to the server/directory. The key sub-directory is the repodata one. If that's visible then YaST _should_ be able to handle it. I am having no problems with any repo's I have defined, today at least. Last week and over the weekend I had trouble with one site because the permissions in their directory structure were messed up so I couldn't access it. Fixed Monday AM though. Not sure what all the troubles are except to guess that possible bad permissions get replicated out from Novell/SUSE, the load is too high on the mirror servers for any number of reasons, human error somewhere in the mix, etc. I don't think its a client side issue where our installs of openSUSE 10.2 are bad, there's a YaST bug, another zmd headache, etc. I perceive it to be on the server side because I don't see comments about chicken sacrifices fixing anything. Well, at least mine haven't worked... Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
