no Education repo

hi.
i’ve done a fresh install of opensuse 11.2 gnome.
i could not find the education repository (i need blue fish) in the community repositories list.
any ideas?
i also could not find deluge and xara in repos.

my download method was via bittorrent at first. i could not find the education repo and i also could not drag and change the position of windows on the applications panel. then i remembered that when i had downloaded 11.1 via bittorent, i had opensuse working with this sort of mistakes too.
then i downloaded it using a direct link. i still can’t find the repo. and at this time fonts rendering is just terrible! i still can’t find deluge (i guess it used to be in the pacman directory). haven’t looked for xara. the default theme (which is ugly imo) after i changed it appers in the list, but it says the theme is not installed!
is anyone having the same problems with opensuse 11.2 gnome as me?
i do hope all these are happening because of the couple of scratches on my cd-rw.

what about the other issues?

Install the repo (as in the link provided) in YaST. There you’ll find Bluefish at least. Don’t use bittorrent but install software through Yast.
Not sure what the CD-RW has to do with it. Fonts we can deal with later once you’ve mastered the software installation process through Yast, and the management of repositories.

i don’t use bittorrent to install packages. i used it to download the image file.

as for the possibly damaged cd-rw - i thought it could influence the integrity of some packages and that might be the cause of the OS working wrong.

as to the impossibility to change windows position - looks like it is a bug in OpenSuse 11.2 gnome - Gnome window list: can’t switch buttons - openSUSE Forums

i really regret for switching from 11.1 (which worked perfectly) to 11.2
