Brother Peter,

	Yes on all 3. Question: With yast, I could look in the yast log and find the
offending repo IP and hostname, can I find that same info if I use zypper? If so
where? I've dug through zypper.log but struck out.... and grepped the remainder
of /var/log for the package name I was updating when the update hung on the bad
repo. Is there anywhere else to look to help narrow it down?
