Ralph, I was having almost the identical problem 11 days ago (17/9/2004).
Do you keep clug emails?  Subject was "yast".

I discovered that my /var/lib/YaST2/you/youservers didn't exist, though
could rectify this by copying it from another machine I have that also runs
Suse and then things ran OK.  I could email you a copy if you are in the
same situation if that would help.

Roger

Are you running it as root?

The ftp server list is in /var/lib/YaST2/you/youservers
Add the line:
ftp://public.planetmirror.com.au/pub/suse;Australia: Planetmirror
to that file.
The last used YOU source is recorded in
/var/lib/YaST2/you/config

The system install source is under /var/adm/YaST/, and it doesn't look
like it's designed to be edited directly...
