I have an icon in my panel that tells me that four software updates are waiting
for me. Software Updater says that these are three Java 1.5.0 packages and
another for RealPlayer v10. 

Clicking on the <Update> button causes the utility to tell me that it is
"preparing software", and it keeps doing that for twenty minutes -- no less,
after which is announces that it can't download rhe RealPlayer package from
<ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/.....>. If I uncheck the RealPlayer package, another
twenty-minute wait gets me the further information that one of the Java
packages can't be updated either.

I am assuming that the reason for this is that it is not looking in the right
place. In "Services" page of the utility's configuration notebook, the only
remote source is <ftp://mirrors.netbg.com/opensuse/distributions/o> (Type: ZYPP
and Active). There is a way to add many other services, but I do not know which
types to add or from what servers. Unsurprisingly, Software Updater is not
equiped with a Help facility. Where can I find such information?

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he, who by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place. -- Douglas Adams (author of "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe")
