8 Installing Add-On Products
Add-on products are system extensions. You can install a third party add-on product
or a special system extension of openSUSE® (for example, a CD with support for
additional languages or a CD with binary drivers). To install a new add-on, start YaST
and select Software > Add-On Products . You can select various types of product
media, like CD, FTP, USB mass storage devices (such as USB ash drives or disks)
or a local directory. You can work also directly with ISO les. To add an add-on as
ISO le media, select Local ISO Image then enter the Path to ISO Image. The Repos-
itory Name is arbitrary.
8.1 Add-Ons
To install a new add-on, proceed as follows:
1 In YaST select Software > Add-On Products to see an overview of already in-
stalled add-on products.
2 To install a new add-on product, click Add.
3 From the list of available Media Types specify the type matching your reposi-
tory.
4 To add a repository from a removable medium, choose the relevant option
and insert the medium or connect the USB device to the machine, respectively.
5 You can choose to Download Repository Description Files now. If the option
is unchecked, YaST will automatically download the les later, if needed. Click
Next to proceed.
6 When adding a repository from the network, enter the data you are prompted
for. Continue with Next.
7 Depending on the repository you have added, you may be asked if you want
to import the GPG key with which it is signed or asked to agree to a license.
After conrming these messages, YaST will download and parse the metadata
and add the repository to the list of Congured Repositories..
8 If needed, adjust the repository Properties as described in Section 5.4.2,
“Managing Repository Properties” (page 92) or conrm your changes with OK
to close the conguration dialog.
