Suse 10 repositories

[ted leslie]

When you figure it out, let me know too,
I too couldn't figure it out,

i downloaded the DVD iso image and mounted it (-o loop)
on my HD and directed Yast to that, just to get my standard ability to add packages
in the 10.0 distro.

i just upgraded to 10.0 and havnt had time to figure out what SUSE changed since the 9.X days,
but they did something. Maybe the mirrors dont have much stuff yet for support of 10.0?
