That repo above is a 64 bit repo. Firefox 3.6.6 shows up in that same repository for 32 bit systems. I installed that a while ago and it works just fine. -- --- Paul J. Gans

Yast > does not want to create a repository from the URL above. I'm not surprised, as it's not valid for creating a repo. What you'd want to use is: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 Using zypper, you can add it using something like: zypper addrepo -f -c -n 'Latest Mozilla packages' \ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 Mozilla either as root, or by prefixing it with "sudo" (hi mjt :) If you're wanting to specifically use the gwdg.de mirror, rather than using download.opensuse.org, use something like: zypper addrepo -f -c -n 'Latest Mozilla packages' \ http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.1 Mozilla instead. And if you're wanting to use YaST2 to add it, use: Software Repositories -> Add select "Community Repositories" and click "Next" , then mark the checkbox for "openSUSE BuildService - Mozilla" , click "Okay" , and then set priority, auto-refresh, etc. as required. > I'm not sure why. I can reach it just fine in Firefox. That's because it's not a valid repository URL, but is the path directly to the package. Trim off everything from "/x86_64/" to ".rpm" and they will accept it as a valid repository URL.
