    Smile How can I install rpms via internet Suse 10.1 i586

    Hallo!I have installed Linux into my computer.Normally,I download rpms from the internet and install them manually into my machine or I install from the Suse installation DVD.I would now like to install rpms directly from the internet.

    Initially,I have tried to configure this from Yast2 by selecting the ' installation source ' link,disabling the installation from DVD and adding the following repositories at the URL link

    Index of /suse/10.1/i586

    Index of /suse/10.1/i586

    or at the HTTP link I have also tried to place the following repositories in the format below

    Web Server packman.iu-bremen.de
    Directory /suse/10.1/i586/

    Web Server packman.unixheads.com
    Directory /suse/10.1/i586/

    Unfortunately,the installation sources cannot be created.How can I solve this problem?Please give me a step by step guide of how to enable rpm installation from the internet and I will be infinitely grateful.Thanks in advance.

    Here are some links. You did not say which version so I'm assuming 10.3.

    Repositories - openSUSE-Community


    Personally I use Smart for most installing. It is faster and has a simpler interface.
