just open change source> and then choose add> http for http urls and ftp for ftp urls then in the first line (add server) you have to add server name (ie for packman it is packman.iu-bremen) than in the second line add the directory (for packman it is /suse/10.0 ) and the same for every link. You see the server name is from //server name// directory). The directory must start with / directory /name/etc.

Regards

Talking still no joy...

hello,
i am obviously having a bad day today as i still cant add the repo`s...so here is a plan.... Please can you type EXACTLY what is to be entered in the server and directory box, for each of the above repositories. That way it should work, and i will be able to copy/paste them in AND see and learn. Then i will be one step closer to becoming a rich linux guru, with flash cars/chicks/etc.........
Many thanks, steve.

Why do you post this question here? Is it in some way related to the original question?
