This also means that >I am unable to add to my software as YAST cannot find them! There seems to be a bit of a name resolution issue in general. When you go to online update in YaST (YOU), take a note of the repository highlighted and try and ping/resolve it. If you can't then you definately have a DNS issue. >I noticed that there is the possibility of using apt-get, but I am not >sure how to get that started or indeed if it is a good idea! >Is there a list of up to date repositories that I can use, or does >anyone have a better idea?! I used to use apt-get and synaptic, but I now use SMART for 10/10.1/SLED10/SLES10. have a look at http://www.forcev.net/?page/SMART_Repositories It's a bit of a simple guide to getting it working, but it works :P Hope this helps a bit, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa, RHCT Tel: +44 (0)7974 074546 e-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.forcev.net _______________________________________________ Peterboro mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/peterboro
