trying to re-install 9.3 - nostalgia lane

Hi,

I’m trying, for fun sake, to install 9.3 in a virtual machine under
vmplayer. I have it running, but now I want to do the updates. The
problem is now finding an old mirror that keeps them.

On:

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/discontinued/i386/update/

I see the update trees for 7.3, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, but no 9.3.

On http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/discontinued/i386/ I see:

7.3 8.0 8.1 8.2 9.0 9.1 9.3

there is 9.3 there, but it is not the updates, but the main distro.

And

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/opensuse/discontinued/update/

starts with 10.2

There are some gaps.

Maybe I can install 7.3, I see the trees.

Or rather, walking. My internet pipe is slow.
