On disks Official repositories

The first repositories that you may have seen are the DVDs. You can have several sorts of such repositories, with different contents. None of them, including the huge two layer DVD of the boxed version, includes all the openSUSE packages, so you will also need the online repositories if possible.

For YaST, there is no difference between online (internet) and on disk (DVD or hard drive) repositories, all the packages are seen as if they are on a very big drive.

Downloadable OSS DVD

This is one single layer 4.7 GB DVD. It hosts the most important packages, but this makes only a very small subset of the whole openSUSE.

Boxed DVD

The boxed DVD consist of a double layer DVD and is available for a fee from Novell or from your dealer. But even this double DVD doesn't hold all the openSUSE packages.

Using DVDs and online repositories

If you keep your computer always connected via a broadband connection, you can remove the "repository" OSS DVD if you install the standard online repository below.

If you have enough disk space, you can also download a repository snapshot, but be advised that this can take up to 20Gb or even more.


Official Repositories

These are official repositories, supported by openSUSE.

Note: You may have added these during installation, if so adding them again will be a bad idea.
