    I checked the ones I have here at work... 9.1 versions used (in YOU)
    "Germany: SUSE LINUX AG" ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse and the 9.0
    versions (totally different list, with only 2 entries) use
    "http://sdb.suse.de/download" Last succesfull update 22 days ago and
    the computer is online all the time.

    For the 9.0 I selected now the other option:
    "http://sdb2.suse.de/download" ... after a while, I got
    Authorization-dialog askin for Username and Password! What's this?
    With empty username and passwd I only got error. Now, the same thing
    happened for the other option also. Nice one, SuSE!

    For the 9.1 I selected "Sweden: SUNET" which sould be the closest one
    (I've had trouble with FUNET, which has sometimes missed some
    packages). It's now been "Retrieving information about new updates"
    for 5 minutes.

    Neither one seems to work. What now? Is this Novell stuff?
