http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#Packman and then 
choose a mirror near you. In Konqueror I just mouse over the first USA 
mirror, right click, Copy Link Address and then go to YaST, Software, 
Installation Source. Click Add, HTTP, Next and in the Server Name either 
middle-click or Ctrl+V the copied link. Delete the http://. Then highlight 
the first slash after the server name and domain through the end of the 
directory list. Cut+Paste that into the Directory On Server area and delete 
the leading and trailing slashes. Click Next.

Any errors at this point are usually due to not getting rid of ftp:// or 
http:// in the Server Name and leading and trailing slashes in the 
Directory on Server areas. Or the server is down, misconfigured, in the 
middle of a mirror process, etc.
