How can I permanently change YOU default site?


Hi there

If I try to use the YaST Online Update, I ALWAYS get the following error message (after a VERY long wait):

URL: http://www.suse.de/cgi-bin/suseservers.cgi<br>couldn't connect to host

I then click on the 'Ignore' tab and then set the 'User defined location' as
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/

The online update than proceeds smoothly. How can I permanently change the non-working setting to the site that does work (or any other one)???

I have tried this in YaST but have failed despite trying everything!
What I'd like to do is find the file that stores the non-working address and edit it so that YaST looks elsewhere.
Please don't tell me to 'simply click on the 'edit server' tab' as this works, but the change is only temporary.

This is a minor annoyance, but after weeks of putting up with it I'm beginning to get annoyed now!

Thanks for any help.

Yes - been there done that....

I've changed and added to that list and they all work fine when trying to install anything with the 'Software Management' tool in YaST. However, that doesn't solve the YOU problem.
