Yes I know that, if you can find a decent ftp server for it. ftp.suse.com is a dog in this neck of the woods. I was really hoping that there would be some more ftp/http servers of the individual packages as a result of opensuse. Perhaps there will be in due course. Sometimes when I have the time and people ask questions about their suse systems I have been known to download an rpm to see how the program is packaged. I don't want a complete cd/dvd archive for that purpose. > > -- > Philip Charles; 39a Paterson Street, Abbotsford, Dunedin, New Zealand > +64 3 488 2818 Fax +64 3 488 2875 Mobile 025 267 9420 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - preferred.
