Re: SUSE 9.0 XD2 Install

Have you tried red-carpet to do an online install from Ximian?  That's
how I did it.  Once red-carpet has installed XD2, the rpms will be in
/var/cache/red-carpet/packages.  From there, you can copy them to
anywhere you like and batch install them.  That's grossly
over-simplified, but it gives you the idea.
