Is it possible to use multiple repo (like primary and update) during installation? I do not see where I can add them in installer.
I didn't use the installer since a long time (thanks to zypper dup ;-) but in the good old times[tm] [1] there was an option to add repos (maybe it's called "Add-On"?) in one of the early steps of the installation.
IMHO it makes sense to add the update repo as early as possible - you'll already get fixes for package installation (%post scripts etc.) and for the second stage of the installation.
I never had any problems with adding the update repo that early (but as I said: thanks to zypper dup, I don't run the installer too often ;-)

Indeed, the older the release is, the more sense it makes. I always include the "update"-repo when doing an install. You avoid installing packages that will be replaced during a concequent update. So for factory it doesn't makes sense, but even for 12.3 it saves (some) time...
Good. So everyone agrees it is useful. Could someone finally explain, *how* it can be used during installation? :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Use Fedora installation media and check the box to use additional repos. :-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi Andrey, after starting from the installation media you first will see the "Welcome Screen" where you can choose Language and Keyboard Layout as well as read the License agreement. After Clicking the "Next" button you reach the "Installation Media" screen where you choose to either update an existing system or to install a new system. On this screen there is a check box labeled "Include Add-on Products from Separate Media". Check this checkbox. When you do this you will note, the list with installation steps on the left of the screen refreshes and now includes an additional step "Add-On Products". If you click the "Next" button you now will be presented with a dialogue similar to the YaST "Add Repository" dialogue in an already installed system. Here you can add the repositories you want. The "Community Repositories" in the list should include an entry like "Main Update Repository". (I didn't test with 12.3 or factory; the list does include the update repository in 12.2) If you check this, updates will be installed without installing the original packages from the installation media.
