I don't think that I have ever seen the option of adding whatever repo one wanted during the installation process - this was only possible after the oS was installed.
And even then, it was not always possible to add some of the repos unless you knew what they were because the did not show up in the list of repos until *AFTER* the first update of the system.
(I don't remember what is possible when installing Ubuntu; perhaps your memory is recalling what may be done when installing Ubuntu?)
Well 13.1 lets you choose additional repos pre-install. This is very important with the Net-Install to all you to install the updated packages the first time rather than downloading 2.8 Gigabytes of Oss, then configuring the update repo and finding you have another 2.8 Gigabytes of updates to download because all the minor-version for nearly all packages have incremented. So I was pleased to find this as standard for the install (at least it was when unchecking [ ] auto configuration -- I don't think that controls it, but worth mentioning) You are correct that the only choices you are presented with are Oss, Non-Oss and Update repos to add. That's why I mentioned it would be nice to be able to add any repo you like. What Felix was saying is he thinks that capability also exists. I did see an "Other Media" button that was listed and taken to refer to other CD's DVD's, but if you can use that to associate any http:// ftp://URL, then it looks like you may be able to add any repo. Which would prevent even more download duplication. I think I have that sorted.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
