Suse 10.2 yast broken again

[astrohopper]

Dear readers,

Has anybody figured out how to add a package repository 10.2 ?

Whichever mirror I try ( http or ftp ) it doesn't seem to work at all while adding it to my installation sources. I always get the same error message saying ( after 5 minutes of waiting "can't add installation source "

I tried packman some german servers ,us servers , http/ftp made sure there weren't any typoes on my part...but all to no avail. I had it working in the past on 9.3 with the packman repository but since suse 10.0/10.1/10.2 I just can't ...this is amazingly frustrating.

If i enter the url in my browser I can see there are files on the server, but in yast it first seems to wait for about 5 minutes before failing.

Also I can't find any references in documentation or howto's to any more configuration than selecting the protocol adding the server name and a path.

Thank you for your time,

astro

packman worked ok for me.

you need to select the http option first then add:-

for server name:

packman.ie-bremen.de

for directory:-

suse/10.2

well not exactly,

The mirror you provided didn't work ( for me )

but after your comment I took up courage to try yet another time with yast, I tried another repository...and it worked....after 2 days of trying it was ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distr...10.2/repo/oss/.

thnx anyway!!!!!!
