Just a quick add on to the above comment, if you have UNinstalled the Enterprise Software Management stuff and gone with the OpenSUSE software management option (zypper instead of rug/zmd etc) the command line looks quite different (but still easily adapted).

It would show, something like this:

zypper sa –type=YaST http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_10.2/ “KDE-Community”

type is going to be YUM or YaST in almost all cases.

If you forget to move the –type option then all your sources will end up named “–type=YUM” or “–type=YaST” which will result in only the last one of each type actually showing up in the Install Sources (yeah, I learned this one the hard way ).

Anyway, hope this helps someone, this script has made installs much quicker for me, thanks heaps.

Using rug to add sources requires ZMD to be installed, and there are still synchronization issues in 10.2. It is better to use “zypper sa “, preferably after removing zmd; If you need to add non-interactively you can pipe in yes, “yes | zypper sa “. Also an easier way to add in the yast2 gui is to use yast -> installation sources -> add -> specify URL -> .
