Hm, usually that means that the path is wrong, but I'm sure the particular one above is correct. You have installed all the updates first? Here is one of the mirrors: http://ftp.kreonet.re.kr/pub/Linux/suse/update/10.2/ Source type is yum for updates. For For distro repos the type is yast by the looks of it. It should auto-detect, though you can try and change it if it doesn't want to add a source. Btw there is a known bug in yast where it doesn't always list all your installation sources. Check /var/lib/zypp/db/sources/* in particular the auto-refresh and enabled fields. You can edit these if yast isn't running. Don't turn on auto-refresh for your CDs... ;) If a source isn't showing in yast but being a nuisance, like being refreshed every time, edit both fields to off, then turn it on again in yast if you want to.
