Please read the following thread about the current changes
Hi, I've been using Ubuntu for the last 6 months and have recently started to try out openSUSE 11.1. I have a problem installing the MS fonts which I was hoping someone would be able to help me with. When I select the fetchmsttfonts for installation, I get the following output: Downloading fetchmsttfonts (download size 6.00 kB) Installing fetchmsttfonts-11.1-5.6.1.noarch.rpm (installed size 4.00 kB) Starting script fetchmsttfonts-11.1-5.6.1.noarch note: No proxy is used.

It should be a dependency for fetchmsttfonts. From the rpm description: Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which Microsoft uses to distribute their software and things like Windows Font Packs. cabextract can be used to unpack these files. -- Chris Maaskant

If the server doesn't have the files the script bombs out. You need to modify the script to delete the first two servers. I just test the one I have and it's working and have posted it at the following link; http://www.nopaste.com/p/alZ9xl8xG Just copy that and save as fetchmsttfonts then; Code: chmod 700 fetchmsttfonts sudo ./ fetchmsttfonts -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.27.29-0.1-default up 2 days 20:38, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 190.18

malcolmlewis, thanks very much your updated script worked a treat. Shouldn't someone update the one in the YaST Software Update to help future users?
