Thanks Darryl, that would explain why I can't find it. ;-)

But, that would not explain why I have the 9.2 sources DVD in my hand... it
came from somewhere... probably Germany. Now, as for James' comment that
nobody is interested in it, I can only say that "open source" has a dearly
beloved meaning to some of us and we *definitely* care about it. So,
where's the source for SuSE 10. Do I need to order that disk separately?
Every Linux distro in my archives has a sources CD or DVD... what happened
here?

kind regards,



The sources DVD was distributed before in the boxed set, but no more --
someone may have ripped that, which is what you have. But there has
never, to my knowledge, been a separate sources iso for download. I am
also sure there is no separate sources DVD for 10.x that you can order
from anywhere.

The sources are all bundled into the download repository. In Yast, there
is no separate "sources" selection filter. In the upper right corner of
the Yast screen, where the individual packages are listed, scroll to the
far right -- there is a "source" column, where you can choose any source
rpms that you want to install.
