It was usefull. `installation_sources -a ftp://example.com/URL`

Perhaps it is that the current chain of command is not clear. There is
zen, there is lybzypp, there is rug, there is yast.

And I can imagine that it is confusing what to use when.
http://en.opensuse.org/Zmd clears a bit things up, but it is not as clear
as it used to be.

Perhaps somebody with knowledge (e.g. not me) could make a re-write of
http://en.opensuse.org/Examples_using_rug and change it into
http://en.opensuse.org/Rug or make a generic Rug page that points towards
the examples. Something that is more beginner friendly then a manpage.

The fact that `rug st` does not say anything about YaST installation
sources does not make things easier.

A proper GUI for rug would be nice. If that could be YaST, that would be
great. And I mean a single point of contact, not seperate programs, like
zen-installer, -updater and -remover.
