I tried installing the python rpm pacages for suse 10.0 on the x86_64, and
the directory for python-xml for 10.0 is inoperable on the site given:
http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=...ackage_Manager

however I need to install that before I can continue, or before I try to
install SMART.

here is the URL I tried:
ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirrors/ftp.open...thon-xml-*.rpm

do you know where I can get that program from?

and would I have to start all over if I turned of my computer in the mean
time? basically would I need to download the first python rpm program again?
