Hi HAMs!

That is true! There are no more HAM packages on the CDs/DVDs. But there are 
still the install sources at the SuSE servers. As I have read on the german 
SuSE-HAM list, they are made by DL1BKE, precompiled for 9.3.

You can find the packages f.e. at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/ham/9.3-i386
or
http://suse.cs.utah.edu/projects/ham/9.3-i386/
or
http://search.belnet.be/packages/suse/projects/ham/9.3-i386/
or at serveral other places.

The SuSE ftp server may be selected as installation source to ease the 
installation process.

There should be everything you need and was contained in 9.2.

I append the original post of Tim, DG7GT from the german SuSE list:

Hallo Dieter,
auch ich habe die Pakete vergebens auf den DVDs gesucht, und sie existieren 
tatsächlich nicht mehr. Allerdings gibt es ein Projekt von DL1BKE, das für 
SuSE 9.3 vorkompilierte Pakete bereitstellt. Die Pakete gibt's z.B. bei 

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/ham/9.3-i386

oder

http://suse.cs.utah.edu/projects/ham/9.3-i386/

oder

http://search.belnet.be/packages/suse/projects/ham/9.3-i386/


oder diversen anderen Servern zum Download.
Der SuSE-FTP-Server läßt sich direkt als Yast-Installationsquelle auswählen, 
dann lassen sich die Pakete sehr einfach installieren.
Da ist alles dabei, was man so braucht und was bei der 9.2 alles dabei war...
