&gt; &gt; Anyone can use the ftp.ale.org &lt;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ftp.ale.org";>http://ftp.ale.org</a>&gt; mirror to do a net

&gt; &gt; complete DVD based set of rpms rather than the CD based set of rpms that
&gt; &gt; are missing a few such as checkinstall or the kernel symbols rpm. Also,
&gt; &gt; the multimedia comment is bogus since the suse rpm based repository at
&gt; &gt; <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://packman.links2linux.org/";>http://packman.links2linux.org/</a> has all the multimedia rpms and scripts
&gt; &gt; needed to have Mplayer on suse.

&gt; &gt; Go into Yast2 after downloading and starting an install with the 1st
&gt; &gt; CD. Change the source of the install so your doing a ftp install.
&gt; &gt; The server in Yast2 would be ftp.ale.org &lt;<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://ftp.ale.org";>http://ftp.ale.org</a>&gt;
&gt; &gt; The path would be pub/suse/i386/9.3
&gt; &gt; note the lack of an initial / or ending / on the path when filling in
&gt; &gt; the blanks in the Yast2 form. I think the Yast2 installation tool adds
&gt; &gt; what it needs automatically since it is looking for a file in the
&gt; &gt; distribution on the server that describes the repository and what it
&gt; &gt; contains.

&gt; Dow,
&gt; 
&gt; Do happen to know how to do an upgrade like above.
&gt; 
&gt; ie. 9.2 ==&gt; 9.3
&gt;
