Those four repos above are the default, you don't need to add them
manually.

Possible, I don't remember.

Section:
1.1.2.3 Network Settings

Says how you can setup Network during the initial installation. The
name is one of the possibilities you can do there.


But the network installer media might be a bit different, because it
has to setup the network much earlier than that step.

Both are intentionally removed, they are deprecated. Use different
commands. You can install them by manually installing this package:

net-tools-deprecated-2.0

The name makes clear that you shouldn't.

I don't remember if there are patterns for that or you have to search
for those packages manually, specially as the group tags has been remove
d.

If you try to setup nfs in yast, for example, it will drag in the
other required packages. Maybe the network server pattern.
