You on suse 9.3 doesn't works.

I've just installed my suse 9.3.

I try to make an online update and i've got this message :

Impossible d'extraire la liste des serveurs distants, seuls les sources de
patches definies par l'utilisateur seront disponibles.

(in english : unable to extract list of remote servers, only yhe user's
patchs will be ok)


Has anyone got an idea ???

Drgged up from memory - if you did a REALLY minimal install one version
of Suse didn't install wget - and you get the above failure ( it might
have been curl, but I'm pretty sure it was wget )

Install wget for you source and YOU may 'spring into life'

The other possibility is that ftp.suse.de doesn't respond timely and YOU
request times out. Entering manually some mirror+path solves the problem.
I've seen that somewhere around 10.0 release, and it was solved
automatically when YOU finally got list of servers.

BTW, list is in /var/lib/YaSt2/you/youservers.
