That guide is insane!

Quote:
You will get a list of predefined online repositories. Select them all to make sure your system can install all available OpenSUSE 10.3 packages if they are needed. Click on Finish afterwards: [/b]
Even the debug repo! Now if a lot of people have been following that guide, no wonder a lot of people complain about yast sw_single being slow.

And he does not note that people should turn off automatic refresh of Main, Non-OSS (and debug). Having autofresh on for Main pulls down about 40-50 MB every time you start yast or zypper, and its compleatly unneed, since that repo NEVER changes (neither does non-oss or debug)

And why oh why should a "perfect" DESKTOP need packages from /repositories/server:/mail or /repositories/server:/php/
