Installed oS11.2 from DVD, no problems. But when updating via internet, I always get the same message:
<Retrieving repository ‘openSUSE-11.2-Non-Oss’ metadata ]File ‘/repodata/repomd.xml’ not found on medium ‘http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss/’>.
Same pb since Sunday, should be solved by now if a server-side problem, so what else could this be?
The rest seems to work, I added several programmes and got a few updates.

that address (http://download.opensuse.org/) goes somewhere magic
where some magic machine figures out where you are and which updated
mirror near you ought to give you good, fast downloads…
that magic does not always work…go to
http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version
and read all you want on that…and, then find on that page or click
here on http://mirrors.opensuse.org/ where you can look down the page
and find a server near you, and give it a try…
notice that not all mirrors have all current versions of all repos…
so, the one you are missing is a non-oss 11.2, from your name i assume
you want one like (mais cherchez-vous)
http://opensuse.cict.fr/distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss/
http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/opensuse/distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss/
which, with a little patience i bet you can figure out how to shove
into YaST (or with zypper)…
Have a lot of fun!

Thanks for your suggestions, will try them out.
You guessed my origins, but I live in Asia; will find out a server close-by.
