Now, why the heck should there be a product to register!? This is openSUSE, for heaven's sake!
That was explained when 10.1 came out. It is some kind of trick to accelerate YOU choosing a server for updates, but no personal info is transfered, unless you tell it to do so. Actually, there is a text file somewhere with what you send/sent. And, if you specify the server by hand, you don't need to register at all. (All that I say going from memory of the process for 10.1, some things may have changed/broken/repaired)
BTW, I am reinstalling the whole sheebang from scratch right now (from discs) because I wanted to install an app. which I forgot to do during the installation process and--guess what?--going to YAST and selecting Software Management results in NOTHING! A flash on the screen of Getting something or other and then...zilch, zero, nothing, nought, we're back to the YAST menu. So I am reinstalling just to make sure that I am not imagining all this.
It is a beta, after all... you are expected to report errors, you know ;-) The factory list is where most of these things are discused, some others in the opensuse list, and a few in the ...project list. The opensuse is the most confusing one, it more or less duplicates this one nowdays. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
