Strange. I downloaded the whole tree from ftp.gwdg.de to local disk and 
installed from there (for some reason ftp.suse.com is much slower for me). It 
seemed to work OK, with the exception of a few packages I needed to install later.

Yup.

It seems that SuSE 9.2 is out (watch the linewrap):

So maybe I'll try that on a more important machine after watching the mailing 
list for a little while.
