It will be still openSUSE 10.2 but updated with all patches. It is the same as anywhere. For instance Windows XP SP2 is patched, but still XP not Vista. To install openSUSE 10.3 the best way is to use: http://software.opensuse.org/ > Please tell me if that is correct.

I can't recall all problems with initial installation of openSUSE 10.2, and I would strongly recommend to update your system first. There is a lot of patches pending after initial installation and few are about package management system (zypper, libzypp, YaST) that solve some bugs there. > but the > system crashed when I entered "konqueror" in thesearch field of the lizard > menu (per your suggesstion below), in the course of which a bug > announcement came up, with an invitation to send in a bug report.

I would skip 'guru102' and any other repository except official, before you update system, otherwise you can end up with messed system. That is one of problems that update solves. The guru also changed location recently and links may not be correct (I haven't checked this). > > > After the same exercise with the update URL, there is a line at the > > > bottom of the window, saying: "Adding > > > ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/update/10.2";.

You can compare them side by side: ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/suse/update/10.2 ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/update/10.2 That is the change between opensuse 10.2 and 10.3, update directory went from 'suse' to 'opsnsuse', but from zypper listing above I can see that you are using another server, so that problem is solved. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
