Try this:

http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.2

But this is better:

http://packman.jacobs-university.de/pub/packman/suse/11.2

I don't know what happened. Auto updates started failing when they
worked before. Looks like either the http stopped working where ftp is
fine or my system put an http in front of the ftp to cause it to fail.
I don't get it.

always use cnf from konsole.

Out of curiosity what desktop do you run and what version is it
and what version of openoffice do you use that's if you use it.

that's one thing with linux there's always more than one way to
do some thing.

If by that you mean that no development has been carried out on Enlightenment
for about 10 years, then that statement is just not true.

<http://www.enlightenment.ORG/>

See a list of all that has been done with it during the past year or so at

<http://www.enlightenment.ORG/p.php?p=news&l=en>

Did you actually mean to write that you had not used it for about 10 years?
