Some time ago I tried installing Suse 10.0 on a second hard drive (dual booting) but never managed to get the online update functioning and deleted it.
I've recently had another go and installed it on a spare drive as 'master' plugging/unplugging as required. The online update problem was briefly resolved when Google came up with this.......

Having manually intervened using the suggested address, about 40 minutes worth of updates (on broadband!) flooded forth.
As my enthusiasm for the OS had been rekindled, I went for the full dual boot installation once again but sadly I am unable to get history to repeat itself. Using YaST, I am informed that it is getting a list of mirror servers. After several minutes a message appears to the effect that a connection is not possible etc.
As per the message above, once again I tried using the quoted address
http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/suse/ Unfortunately this now results in nothing. It is not possible to abort either of these these processes to try something else, so considerable time is wasted on every attempt.
There must surely be a quicker/easier way to update the system.
Does anyone know what it is.............. PLEASE?
