Why are you sayign this. Super contains all packages of SUSE and more, since it uses the apt repository. They just do not install by default. I am thinking of creating a DVD of the apt repository?

Just add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list rpm http://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/10.0-i386 rpmkeys base java update extra suser-jengelh suser-guru usr-local-bin suser-jogley packman packman-i686 wine suse-people suse-projects security rpm http://opensuse.linux.co.nz/apt/suser-agirardet apt/10.0 super > the kernel and all of the patches in the standard version of SuSe?

SLICK has all that. The normal 1 CD installer is based on SUSE standard and I will not change that since that is the whole point in the normal 1 CD install to have it all standard as opposed to SLICK which is modified. So use SLICK and you have apt included and kynaptic set up and the system is even more responsive. > Also from reading the Super Suse web site, it says that the ATI drivers are > easy to install via YOU, but when I look in YOU it lists my CD drive as the > only avaiable software install source - and there is no ATI fglrx drivers > listed. > I am in process of adding the drivers to my apt respository. > Please can someone tell me how I can fix this too?

Any error messages? super-openSUSE-RC1-20050911-standard-kde.iso is just standard openSUSE SUSE Linux 10.0 RC1 super-SLICK-RC1-20051003-modified-kde.iso is modified and contains the SUPER patches, ck5 and apt/kynaptic properly set up. > TBH I think it would be better instead of supplying a whole new > distribution, if the SUPER Suse development team simply focused exclusively > on releasing kernels and patches and on enhancing performance and allowing > SuSe users to install these kernels and patches on their standard Suse > machines.

We are in fact supplying a 1 CD installer to a.) Installer standard suse with 1 CD b.) Install a modified suse with the patches added with 1 CD In fact we are in fact trying to stay away from supplying a whole distro as SLICK can be updated using the public yast update system for SUSE 10.0 as opposed to having our own updates. One can either use kynaptic with SLICK to update to bleeding edge or use the normal SUSE YOU to update to stable. Again: The patches are not added in super-openSUSE-RC1-20050911-standard-kde.iso but in super-SLICK-RC1-20051003-modified-kde.iso Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
