choose a mirror near you. In Konqueror I just mouse over the first USA mirror, right click, Copy Link Address and then go to YaST, Software, Installation Source. Click Add, HTTP, Next and in the Server Name either middle-click or Ctrl+V the copied link. Delete the http://. Then highlight the first slash after the server name and domain through the end of the directory list. Cut+Paste that into the Directory On Server area and delete the leading and trailing slashes. Click Next.
Any errors at this point are usually due to not getting rid of ftp:// or http:// in the Server Name and leading and trailing slashes in the Directory on Server areas. Or the server is down, misconfigured, in the middle of a mirror process, etc.
Stan You know, I followed your instructions and finally a server in Germany configured but all the other tries yield a message box that says Unable to create installation source...
