Suse 10 repositories

[Ken Burtch]

SuSE 10 indeed has a number of packages missing from the DVDs.  Some of
these are for licensing reasons (OpenSuSE is GPL), others...well, for
unknown reasons.  If you follow the instructions at the Jem Report
(http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/178/42/) you should be
able to find most/all the missing packages.

For a review of OpenSUSE and a discussion on the missing packages, read
my blog at http://www.pegasoft.ca/coder/coder_november_2005.html.

Hope that helps.
