ahh cool, well after sittin here for a while...time since my last post + the 10-15 mins before that...i can now search and view all the packages on the ftp...awsome...
downloading gcc, make, kernel source....what else should i get while i'm here....any suggestions for getting around future issues you have had ?....maybe if i go to the MFA ( museam of fine arts ) this weekend, while i'm there i'll just have it install everything.......<< good idea? bad idea? i have the hard drive space...don't think it could hurt.
your first time hitting that FTP, assuming you added it as an installation source, will take quite a while, as Yast has to read EVERY package that is available, and add it to the Yats repository. Each time after the first should be seconds.
yea it connects fast now, just wondering what people suggest i download to avert problems they have had in the past...i liked how yast told me what dependancies i needed and auto downloaded them.
