But my point is, after the install DVD runs and then after I remove the packages openSUSE-repos-MicroOS openSUSE-repos-MicroOS-NVIDIA, how are they getting back on my system?
That is called "package dependencies".
Are they auto-added to every "zypper dup"? If so, that shouldn't happen.
Really? Did you do anything for it to not happen?
Yes, for the DVD install, I can see them being setup, but after that, a "dup" shouldn't be messing with your repositories.
You are saying that "dup" should not be installing dependencies.
Is that what is happening?
What is "that"? Anyway, this has been beaten to death both on lists and forums. The actual bug here is that these repositories are added only when NVIDIA hardware is present creating inconsistent experience. Either openSUSE-repos-{Leap,Tumbleweed,...} should always be recommended or openSUSE-repos-*-NVIDIA should depend on openSUSE-repos-* being present, not the other way round. It is also rather unclear why openSUSE-repos-*-NVIDIA Requires openSUSE-repos-* at all. Even assuming that NVIDIA repository should be auto-added in the first place. Installer always had question about additional repositories and I expect those who wanted to use vendor driver just selected them.
