The reason why we took "repositories" was to reuse existing names on the ftp server (pub/opensuse/repositories) and to make it clear that you can not use this directory directly. You have to go inside and pick one. > Maybe also one level higher - "dist" for "distribution". I would like to avoid a change here, it would cause too much pain for the mirrors. (and I personally think longer names are better than short ones for most users, who are not famillar with the structure). > And if cd and dvd images shall not reside within the same directory, the > names "cd" and "dvd" would be better than "iso" and "dvd". good point bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
