Expect them to be on mirror.centos.org in the next hour and on the external public mirrors with a day. BTW, Jim Perrin (one of our developers ... aka Evolution on freenode IRC) says that using the freetds and unixODBC driver is a better method to connect: http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/03/27/chatting-with-mssql/ So now you have 2 CentOS repo options to talk to mssql :D Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
