I kinda figured that but the problem is that when I get to a directory named "10.0", there doesn't appear to be any rpm packages in that directory. (Except for Packman which is the only one I've gotten to install.) Usually, there are more directories with arcane names that appear to be meaningful to someone but not to me. To make matters worse, the Release Notes appear to deal with both OpenSUSE and the boxed set without clearly differentiating when dealing with one or the other.
What Randall said in the previous post except its directory.yast that you are looking for. "GM-Extra" means "Gold Master Extra" stuff. Things that were not included in the OSS versions that are in the retail boxed set. Proprietary programs, codecs, etc that are not pure OSS but that are considered by many to be necessary for a real desktop operating system these days; Flash, Acroread, iscan for Epson scanners, etc.
Any suggestions on how I should proceed?
Just add that directory as a Yast source like Randall said and you'll be good to go.
Ah, so. Now I understand what you all mean by "directory.yast". That's the name of a file, not a directory. That gets me past the immediate problem, that of how to install yast repositories.
