Is there no way to add oficial SLES ftp or http server as source of
instalation (e.g. as you.novell.com/updates is for updates)? Once I
succeded to add http source of instalation, but it wass not oficial
SLES.
If I login to this page:
http://sdb.suse.de/download/x86_64/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/x86_64/
than I can acces new versions of packages, but only throught web
brouser. I did not succed to add it as source of instalation.
Maybe I should use cron and wget to download reguraly new packages to
directory and use this directory as source. But I hope, there is less
funny solution.
Thanks
Dexter
