Logs? What are these logs you speak of?

Should I have to go through all this trouble for a repository that  
SuSE created, the SDK? There must be an
easier way. I've followed UWE's minimal instructions to the very last  
detail, and autoyast is clearly broken. If
I can manually add an installation source to an existing system,  
there's no reason I shouldn't be able to
add that to a server installing through autoyast, especially since  
all of the packages come directly from Novell.
