Update server for old SuSE distro
I have an old SuSE distribution (9.0) that I neglected for awhile,
but want to update, if possible. I have tried updating some packages
manually, but the dependencies are very difficult to keep straight,
and automatic updates are a lot easier.
I tried updating with YaST, but the update servers it knows about
seem to be either gone or not responding or not accepting my
request. I think that this might have had something to do with
the purchase of SuSE by Novell, which happened after I installed
my distribution. (Yes, I know, it's been a long time!)
Does anyone know whether there is a server available that I can
point YaST to, in order to update a number of packages on my
system? If so, please provide the URL.
Thanks
Tom

Chances are, you won't have much luck. But anyhoo, here's a link with several repos you might try.

Your best bet, and reccomended by the Suse guys on the list is to back up your config files and /home directories and just restart w/ a newer version.
