> Has anyone gotten yast to work properly with opensuse10.1?

I assume you're talking about the online-update part of YAST.

> I have added sources to yast and I still can not use yast reliably. This has to be the worst suse I have ever seen. I downloaded the rpm for the latest firefox and it refuses to install.
> I have yet to see the security updates show up in yast.

Here's what works for me:

Go into "installation-source".
Turn off refresh and deactivate the update source.
Get out of installation-source.
Go back into "installation-source".
Turn off refresh and activate the update source.
Exit out of installation-source.
Run online-update (you).
Install your updates, which now show up.

If the only only update is selected (or rug or zmd or something like
that), you will have to run online-update again to get the rest of the
updates.  You may or may not have to do the installation-source trick
again (that I described above).
