Repositories can't redownload

hi every body
this is my first time using opensuse10.3
it looks nice
my problem is
..........
when i was installing it it accessed the net for downloading Repositories i allowed to do so
but the service provider have problems with the net
that means the net cuts while downloading the Repositories
so i reinstalled it without Repositories
no i installed suse successfully
and i want to download Repositories so i went to administration tools and make update
it told me that the database is ok
but nothing downloaded
any suggestions?

Use community repositories it will down load all the repositories.
After make you,re choice with repositories you need

If you need to know with you minimal had to choice just put another including the hardw spec

good luck

Startup yast2 > software> option community repositories click
at this option than it will download all the repositories

On the left side there a box before the each repositories click if you want it .
If you have make the selection start up online update

good luck

You can make your own CD (by downloading updates first to your p/c) and then doing the updates from there but you can't purchase a cd as such.

If all the updating gets on your nerves - just switch off the automatic update icon and check manually every week or weeks and see what updates need to be installed.

It really depends on what updates you do. I like to install all the kde updates, updates from the packman site and critical updates - so generally there are updates to do most days.
