I wanted to install the latest nvidia driver and saw in the FAQ that for 10.1 it is possible to do that via yast ( http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#3 ). I just wondered if smart is able to do the same?
Yes.

I'm using that repo now in Smart.. .no problems. at all. Basically, anything you can add as a source to YAST can also be added to Smart... Smart speaks most repository formats.
Must have done something wrong. I added the URL as a yast2 repository (in the smart --gui) , then when I update I get: Fetching information for 'nVidia Drivers'... -> http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#nVidia_drivers/ media.1/media media ########################################################################### ########## [ 25%] -> http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#nVidia_drivers/ content content ########################################################################### ########## [ 50%] -> http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#nVidia_drivers/ suse/setup/descr/packages packages ########################################################################### ########## [ 75%] error: Invalid package file format.

Maybe it isn't a "yast2" channel? Tried adding it as rpm-md, that didn't work at all. Also tried to let it get the channel info from the URL, but that didn't add any channel at all...
Kostas OK, I'm sorry... and stupid. http://download.nvidia.com/novell is the url and rpm-md is the type of channel. Sorry...
