Hi again! i just came across a most hideous bug in yast and i'm looking for a workaround: If you open the Installation Source yast tool while you're not online, it will warn you that it can't contact remote repos (of course). That's fine. However, if you then click "Abort", which warns you that "all changes will be lost", the remote repos are still removed from your list (as i assume they are if you click "finish" instead of "abort"). So much for "all changes will be lost"! How about "all remote repos will be lost"? Can someone tell me what file(s) i can back up in case yast does this to me again? It is a very slow process to add repositories (sometimes i have to wait up to 5 minutes before a repo is added), and i don't at all appreciate having to re-add them more than necessary.
