Note:
ftp.suse.com is being mirrored by approx. 80 ftp-servers all over the world (October 1999). Please use a mirror-site near you. There's a list of mirror-sites available from http://www.suse.de/en/support/download/ftp/
Please note, that the ftp-versions of SuSE Linux are not supported (no installation support) - especially ftpadmin@suse.com does not answer support questions. Since ftp.suse.com is located in the US, we're not allowed to put crypto-software (e.g. ssh) on it. Additionally, many commercial packages from the `pay' series have been omitted. Besides this, there's no difference to the `normal' version of SuSE Linux.
