Having recently upgraded to 10.2 from 10.1 I needed to fiddle a bit with the Yast installation sources. You should NOT add http:// or ftp:// in the server name field. I have leading / in each of my directory fields, and no trailing / anywhere.
Also, in order to get various multimedia options working correctly I needed to add a few additional sources (and in some cases remove then reinstall eg amarok, xine) Add these types / server names / directories and you should be good to go: http mirror.pacific.net.au /linux/packman/suse/10.2/ http packman.iu-bremen.de /suse/10.2 ftp ftp.gwdg.de pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.2 http ftp.riken.jp /Linux/suse/suse/update/10.2 Note also the riken.jp directory has a capital L at the beginning of the directory name, this server at least is case sensitive.
