That was what I do to avoid false alarms just because one of mirrors is not maintained. Specially I would avoid using downloads.opensuse.org redirector for two different repositories that are not really independent due to package dependencies, like oss and non-oss. SUSE splitted packages for legal reasons, which brings the question how much extra effort and expenses are introduced due to Intellectual Property management. And, one of your problems is, as others stated, doubled sources for repositories, which produces only more administration overhead, and the other, and bigger, is the Factory repository. Others gave you enough ideas how to organize installation sources, like minimize number of repositories, don't use factory if you don't know how to get out of problems with binaries that are actually pre-alpha. For the kernel, I guess it was USB problem on AMD 64 x 2, or any other single package you can use Konqueror, right click, select Action and Install with YaST, and other ways that others already mentioned. I don't keep other repositories in YaST, but in Konqueror bookmarks. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
