Mirror-admins: Please read ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/README.mirror-policy Uploaders : Please read ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/README.upload Spammers : You will be reported and your services will be disconnected. General questions regarding ftp.suse.com are answered in our support-database: in German: http://sdb.suse.de/de/sdb/html/lmuelle_suselinux_internet.html in English: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/lmuelle_suselinux_internet.html **************** LATEST NEWS **************** Reconstruction: Some directories on ftp.suse.com have been moved: KDE, GNOME, GhostScript and X-stuff is now in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/PLATFORM/supplementary/ Old versions of SuSE Linux and other obsolete stuff has been moved to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/discontinued/PLATFORM PLATFORM = i386, ppc, axp, ... Discontinued and supplementary stuff is * unsupported * 7.2 on ftp: Is available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.2 The Live Evaluation ISO image is available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/live-eval-7.2/ Please use a mirror site of ours!!! `SuSE-Linux': The directory /pub/SuSE-Linux is finally gone now. All stuff you may be looking for is in /pub/suse/PLATFORM (PLATFORM = i386, ppc, axp, ...) Improper use: An increasing number of people use agressive scripts to retrieve files from ftp.suse.com (up to 90 simultaneous connections and/or connection attempts every 10 seconds!). This will not be tolerated. ftp-clients: I suggest to use a ftp-client that allows reget (such as `wget', SuSE Linux package series `n'). Problem reports regarding the use of common webbrowsers as ftp-clients will not be answered. Get a decent client. **************** LATEST NEWS **************** ftp.suse.com is located in Nuernberg, Germany. If you can't connect, try again a few hours later or use one of our mirror sites (http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/index.html). ftp.suse.com allows anonymous-ftp and its directory structure is straightforward. The ftp-versions of SuSE Linux and updates to individual packages are located in: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse Please note: The SuSE installation support does NOT cover the ftp-version and the evaluation-version of SuSE Linux. It is futile to send support-requests for these versions. Please also note: We have the full ftp-version in a directory tree and the `Live Eval' ISO image. The latter is for demonstration and evaluation purposes and cannot be installed. Please do not ask ftpadmin@suse.com for ISO images of the ftp-version. The ftp-version of SuSE Linux is separately created and appears (rule of thumb) a couple of weeks after the boxed version starts to be sold. See also ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/README.iso-images.english Please note that ftpadmin@suse.com will _not_ answer questions regarding: - how to use FTP (read the manpage) - when particular packages or ftp-versions of SuSE Linux will be available (this is in the responsibility of the SuSE package maintainers) - this includes evaluation CD ISO-images - where particular packages are located (unless we've mistakenly moved them - in this case, please include the exact URL that fails) - why connections to ftp.suse.com may be slower than the maximum bandwidth you have available - other questions that are not related to ftp.suse.com (esp. support questions, e.g. about the ftp-update function of YaST) - the availability of SuSE Linux on our mirror sites - how to write the ftp-version to multiple CDs - why your proprietary proxyserver causes problems when downloading files from ftp.suse.com but `works with every other server' - why you may have trouble downloading large files using Netscape (use `wget' from SuSE Linux package series `n' instead) - why it is spelled `anonymous' and not `anonymus' or `anonymuos' If you suspect a bug in SuSE Linux or if you have comments, please go to http://www.suse.de/feedback and write us. # SuSE Linux S/390 customers: Your download area is at # ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/s390/ # Some mirror sites of ours also have SuSE Linux S/390, check # http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html Primary SuSE mirror-sites: Europe/Germany: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ US: currently no primary, but we have US mirror sites, cf. http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/int_mirrors.html Regards, Christopher Mahmood, Roman Drahtmüller
