Thanks Thomas,  I finally found time yesterday to go to Fry's and pick
up a copy.

As far as online repositories of the various SUSE 10.0 rpms, Paul
Cartwright told me about "smart" as a tool to download various SUSE
rpms from apt repositories.

AFAIK, the apt repositories are not official, so I don't know of
anywhere to get official rpms online.  The various ISOs you can
download don't have all the rpms the retail version does (ie.
xfsdump).  That is one of the things that drove me to go buy a retail
copy.
