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 ad-
ditional 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 Repository Name
is arbitrary.
