Re: YaST URL entering

Given the ease of something like klik:// and kio slaves, how hard would yast:// be implement. It's not like you can accidentally have someone messing up your system, since they would need su access to add it as a source. Of course it's the usual effort v use, since you don't really add sources all that often, but I always thought the apt:// kio slave in Debian was under utilized since it could theoretically be integrated into help files and instructions.

When you want to add a new instalation source, you need to enter three things. 1. The type of source, e.g. CD, HD, FTP, HTTP 2. The server 3. The directory Is there any reason that you can not do this on one line? e.g. ftp://ftp.example.com/dir/opensuse cd://media/dev/ http://mirror.example.net/dir/subdir/subsubdir/opensuse

Would be much nicer indeed, splitting it into several fields isn't very useful, especially when you paste those URLs to beginners in IRC channels ;)

Note that you can use "y2pmsh" and "installation_sources" to use fully-qualified URLs, e.g.: installation_sources -e -a http://mirror.example.net/dir/subdir/subsubdir/opensuse y2pmsh source -a http://mirror.example.net/dir/subdir/subsubdir/opensuse

"installation_sources" is part of the "yast2-packagemanager" RPM, but for "y2pmsh" you must first install the "y2pmsh" package (that's shipped with SUSE).

...

Also, what is the file where this information is kept?

You can also use y2pmsh to list the sources: y2pmsh source -s
