I am wondering how updates are being done now. Do we still set an installation source (repository) and update
There are two kinds of updates on SuSE.
1) Security updates, handled with YOU
2) Updating to unsupported ("unstable") or 3. party packages from various installation sources, handled with Software management.
This basically hasn't and won't change. But..
SuSEwatcher/YOU will be/has been replaced - with something that none of us has really been able to test yet.
"Software management" is also undergoing some major changes - and specifically in beta4 it has very little functionality - among other things with respect to installation sources and updating. So what you want to do - especially being new to this - is relax for now and check out beta5 which is expected to be released tomorrow..
Hopefully with a package manager ready for some heavy duty bug testing ;)

Well the reason I ask (and this could be a bug I suppose). I went and added the ftp respositories to installation source, and it verified and said it was okay, but the second I chose okay and it closed, I would immediately go back in, and it had disappeared. That is why i wondered if something had chanaged.
It is bug 152085 on http://bugzilla.novell.com. There is a thread here in factory on it as well. Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this.
