You're right. Here is a description how you can search for the packages
you need. Please start again the program YaST. Select: choose/install
packages -> change/create configuration -> use the button 'Esc' to go
back
to the previous menu. Now you have the chance to choose the menu:
package
information. Now you can search on your system and the install media for
the package you need. Here you can search for 'kernel' or 'bttv' or any
other subject. Select a package name and look at the details by using
F2/F3. There you will find a line like this:
Where in which
to find: series package name
Package: 1.CD /gra2/bttv.rpm
Then you can go back to change/create configuration and select the
series
and the packages you need.

You will notice the not exactly intuitive "esc" and go back one step
before going forward again in this little one.
