Essential openSUSE Repositories for Australians
Things have improved greatly recently as Pacific Internet now keeps an up to date mirror of not only complete openSUSE but also Packman. After installing openSUSE 10.2, I have found that 50% of the time it tends to pick an update server in Japan, so I no longer configure the update server during install. Personally I delete all repositories after install (including the CD/DVD install source), and then add the following in YAST 'by URL' using the following:
Updates:
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/suse/update/10.2/
Packman:
ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/packman/suse/10.2/
Install (OSS):
ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
Install (non-OSS):
ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
