Yup.
Especially as "add a new installation source" means (openSUSE 10.2) - Calling yast - Enter password - Call source manager - about 3-10 minutes waiting for inst-source updates - Getting URL (konqueror, firefox) - Entering URL in inst-source (C&P) - Retyping URL, as we forget directory or were a directory to deep - Wait again, lots of clicks - Go to installation - about 3-10 minutes waiting again - search the tool - select the tool - install the tool - 3-5 minutes waiting for SuSE config
Interesting workflow!
..which where yast needs severe improvements. That is, for people not versed enough to use command-line alternatives.
For me, it looks much easier:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d w3m download.opensuse.org/repositories # download desired foo.repo file yum install foo
I'm hardly using the commandline rpm anymore. Of course occasionally, but yum is fast enough...
