YaST Software Repositories
There are many different repositories which can be added and enabled to allow software to be installed from them.
Basic repositories
The basic list of repositories that should be enabled are:
- OSS (Open Source Software)
- NON-OSS (Non-free software)
- Update (Security and Bugfix updates)

Adding and removing repositories
Repositories may be added and removed, enabled or disabled, or their priority may be changed, to ensure software available from more than one repository is downloaded from the desired one.
This may be done from YaST -> Software -> Software Repositories.
Details of adding and removing repositories is available from Add package repositories.
Please see Add package repositories, Package repositories and Additional package repositories for further information.
