Rug type 'nu' is for Novell Updates exclusively. Use --type=zypp to add your own YUM or SUSEtags sources. There is also a rug type 'yum', but if you use 'zypp', the source will be propagated to YaST as well, so you will get support in both YaST and ZMD stacks.

when i used --type=YUM to add the source 'rug up' worked. the next question that i've been pondering over is what happens when SuSE 10.2 becomes available, am i going to have to remove this source and add another? this is what was nice about /etc/youservers, one only needed to provide the url to the base of the update tree. -- Darin Perusich Unix Systems Administrator Cognigen Corporation 395 Youngs Rd.
