Unhappy Can't Install ANYTHING in SUSE 10.1 through YaST ???????


Hi all.
Please help.
I've just installed SUSE 10.1 on my
laptop HP nx 6315 (512 RAM, AMD Sempron 1.6, bluetooth, wireless etc

SWAP-750 MB, root-8.4 GB & /home-3.5 GB.

I'm facing THREE major problems :

1.

As i was trying to install xine or packman package
to run MP3 files, to my horror a message
comes whenever i try to add any package. I've turned off
both 'status' & 'refresh' of the default option (suse).

now whenever i try to add any n/w connection path through
HTTP then the message comes "Unable to create Installation Source
from URL (say) http://packman.rsync.zmi.at/suse/10.0/ ".

then i downloaded Xine 0.99 tz file & extracted it to folder xine.
now again i tried to give the source path of installation directory.
But the message comes again "Unable to create Installation Source
from URL 'dir///home/AJAX/xine/' .


2.

2nd problem is that the sound is coming only if i attach
headphone & no sound from the laptop speakers.

3.

How to install or configure wireless drivers.



Plz help me

SUSE 10.1 has serious problems with YAST (which SUSE themselves have accepted). Please do NOT install it.

I recommend you go for either SUSE 10.2 or kubuntu.
