I can't confirm that. Maybe you mix up Novell/SuSE and OpenSuSE? > With 10.1 I did a bit of mucking about and got FG built ok, > Same with 10.3. I've always had to download additional libs to compile everything that I wanted to compile. Sometimes the libs were on the CD, but not the devel packages.

I'm not sure if that was ever resolved. Or if anyone ever told them. And nowadays it might be just a problem with free CD/DVD space. Yes, it would be nice if they offered fg. But then again, you are talking about building fgfs, so I don't see how this could possibly be a problem. > My net connection here in Bali is pretty slow (and expensive), > infact terminal compared to what I have experienced in Eu. > So searching and downloading additional files is a drag. Then you'll be happy about downloading ~1.9GB of fg data. ;-) (You can avoid downloading all the aircraft, and do that later, piece by piece.) > I can appreciate the legalities, but needing to download codecs > just to get video and audio playing on 10.3 is a bit much. Umm, and Debian contains all the codecs with patent/license problems? I would be *very* suprised if they did. I mean *VERY*. > even festival is installed Just like in OpenSuSE? I don't want to make OpenSuSE advertisement, but I do also not want that misinformation is spread here. The only complaint that I would understand is Novell's MS-ties, but this doesn't directly concern OpenSuSE. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
