What Curtis said too. Opening those links in a browser should get you to the server/directory. The key sub-directory is the repodata one. If that's visible then YaST _should_ be able to handle it. I am having no problems with any repo's I have defined, today at least. Last week and over the weekend I had trouble with one site because the permissions in their directory structure were messed up so I couldn't access it. Fixed Monday AM though. Not sure what all the troubles are except to guess that possible bad permissions get replicated out from Novell/SUSE, the load is too high on the mirror servers for any number of reasons, human error somewhere in the mix, etc. I don't think its a client side issue where our installs of openSUSE 10.2 are bad, there's a YaST bug, another zmd headache, etc. I perceive it to be on the server side because I don't see comments about chicken sacrifices fixing anything. Well, at least mine haven't worked... Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
