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/m... media ##################################################################################### [ 25%] -> http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#nVidia_drivers/c... content ##################################################################################### [ 50%] -> http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#nVidia_drivers/s... packages ##################################################################################### [ 75%] error: Invalid package file format. Invalid header found. 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
