I'm experiencing the same puzzling problem. I tried to point YaST to a directory containing some RPM's, selected local directory. By pressing the accept button a message shows up that the installation source cannot being created by using this (or any other) directory, neither on an external disk nor one in the home directory.
I remember reading somewhere (too tired to find the url) that the local directory now needs to be setup like a yast directory, which IIRC can be created by running create_package_descr or something like that. Then it would work. I just updated to 10.1 from 9.3, and I guess that was what the Yast in 9.3 automatically did, since my local rpm directory worked in 9.3. I haven't tried it yet, but this is just a part of learning the new ways of 10.1. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871
