Description Dirk Stoecker 2006-12-09 14:12:54 UTC 
Hello,

now after yast adding of installation sources has a progress report one sees, that many useless files are transfered:
On my i586 system all file for ppc and x86_64 are transfered, as well as translation in all the languages, where only DE is required (and maybe EN).

Reducing the number of transfered files would greatly improve speed. When really additional files would be required, they can be loaded any time later also.

Installation soure I added:
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss

Libzypp should download only really needed files.
