It's possible to enable/disable autorefresh for an installation source in
the "Installation Sources" module or in y2pmsh. If you are using a CD/DVD
inst source, it shouldn't do autorefreshing by default.
# y2pmsh
[...]
[0] y2pm > source -ls
Known sources:
0: [x] SUSE LINUX Version 10.0.42 (...) [autorefresh]
[0] y2pm > source --help
Usage: source OPTIONS
OPTIONS:
-e ID, --enable ID enable source number ID

-R ID, --remove ID remove source number ID
-P ID, --product ID install source number ID as product

Anyway -- with the upcoming changes in the Package Manager this procedure
might fail to work in the future ;(
