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. **************** LATEST NEWS **************** 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. ISO-Images: ISO-Images of SuSE Linux (evaluation version) usually appear with the respective version on ftp.suse.com If there's no ISO-Image in ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/PLATFORM/ it is futile to ask for it (don't send e-mail) It may be postponed in order to prevent server overload (but check the mirrors). 6.4 on ftp: Is available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/6.4 The evaluation version and its ISO image is available at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386 Please use a mirror site of ours!!! **************** 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. The difference between the ftp-version and the evaluation-version is simply in the number of software-packages. The core system including kernel, glibc, gcc, utils and XFree86 is identical. `Evaluation Version' does not mean that this version of SuSE Linux is restricted or crippled in any way. important note: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may not export or re-export this product in violation of any applicable laws or regulations including, without limitation, U.S. export regulations or the laws of the country in which you reside. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 (use the Evaluation-CD ISO-image and install additional packages via ftp) - 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' Primary SuSE mirror-sites: Europe/Germany: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ US: ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/suse/ http://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/suse/ Regards, ftpadmin@suse.com
