Hello Frank, To add an update repository you must register SLES. YAST provides an interface for taking care of the registration or you can use the CLI. In YAST, got to Support | Novell Customer Center Configuration. My preference is to use the suse_register command. suse_register -h to see an example. In both cases, you will need a registration code.
With the regcode, you will be able to get the updates as a 180-day eval or when you purchase the SLES subscription. The regcode is either mailed to you or available via the Novell Customer Center - http://www.novell.com/center .
