Now I know, and very useful information it is. Thanks.

I am having a bit of trouble in installing the new sources that I was given
yesterday in this thread, because the responses of the system do not seem
entirely consistent.
Firstly, I tried to install all three services in the SoftwareUpdates
Configuration window (although now on reflection, I think only the "updates"
URL belongs there). The responses were as follows:
The non-oss URL was added correctly, and now appears as "Active".
The oss URL was added too, but now appears as "Pending"; Pending what?.
After the same exercise with the update URL, there is a line at the bottom of
the window, saying: "Adding ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/update/10.2";. It
doesn't go away, and the rest of the Services window is greyed out. The updates
URL is, of course, the one that interests me.
I then tried to enter the oss URL in a terminal window. Here is the response of
the system:
*****

Error message: FTP response timeout

Retry does not produce a different result, which is just as well, because I
have no clue what to synchronze, or how.
Repeating the above with the update URL produces a similar result, except that
it is neither YUM nor YaST, so the bit about errors is not present.
What am I doing wrong?
