Just wondering if you have done the following from opensuse.org
BEFORE YOU INSTALL READ THIS:
The package manager in SUSE 10.1 is regrettably broken on most
systems. To correct this you should do the following after you have
installed SUSE:
Open Yast chose "online update configuration" , click next and wait until finished.
Press the updater icon on you taskbar/panel
If it updates, congratulations, all is well.
If it throws up an error. Close it.
Follow the instructions in this SDB article or this mail.
at http://en.opensuse.org/Download
I just installed 10.1 and yast is working.
Cheers
Simon
