Having a beta-repository would be better in my opinion also. Most users don't want to burn 3-5 cd's and they have to do some tricks to do it without burning them. Making FTP-install available would be much easier. And why are the extra's in the suse-dir and all the other dirs in opensuse? never understood that so maybe you can point you're light on it for me :D Azerion --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
