[wplug] SuSE Download Location

[Wise, Jeremey]

That must have been a site issue. I tried three sites and the errors
were "could not CD". The only other error was:

2004-05-10 09:00:40 <3> linux(2012) [packagemanager]
InstSrcDataUL.cc(initDataCache):525 Cannot access descr dir on media: /v
ar/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000003/MEDIA/suse/setup/descr{does not exist}
2004-05-10 09:00:40 <1> linux(2012) [packagemanager]
InstSrcDataUL.cc(tryGetData):379 (F)No cache. Use media http(http://carr
oll.cac.psu.edu//pub/linux/distributions/suse/suse/i386/9.0/ attached;
localRoot "/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x000
00003/MEDIA")

Either way... the Novell site and the carroll.cac.psu.edu worked.

Thanks,
