Yes. There is a general URL option at the bottom as well, into which you can paste the whole of http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/ > If so, are the forward slashes correct? Dunno, but IIRC a friend said they had to be one way. The sources are kept in xml files in /var/lib/zypp/db/sources/* and mine all have a trailing slash. Easy to find out though. > Also, what are good reliable sources to use? That might be slightly the wrong question? The SUSE-suplied repos have slightly more stuff than is on the DVD. I don't have experience yet with other repos. If you're asking about mirrors, you have to try yourself, they come and go a bit. The USA ones are likely to be faster, and more uptodate. I understand Asia still has internet connection problems after the last seaquake.
