Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP2 - INSTALLATION AND ADMINISTRATION Installation Manual page 226

Mount
With Mount, embed a directory mounted on your machine. This is useful, for ex-
ample, in a network that regularly mirrors the Novell YUM server and exports its
content to the local network. To add the directory, provide the full path to the direc-
tory in Service URI.
NU
NU stands for Novell Update. Novell provides updates for SUSE Linux Enterprise
exclusively as NU services. If you configured update during installation, the official
Novell NU server is already present in the list.
If you skipped the update configuration during installation, run suse_register
on the command line or the YaST module Software > Product Registration as user
root. The Novell Update server is automatically added to Software Updater.
RCE and ZENworks
Opencarpet, Red Carpet Enterprise, or ZENworks services are only available if
your company or organization has set up these services within your internal network.
This may, for example, be the case if your organization is using third-party software
for which updates are deployed on a single server.
After SUSE Linux Enterprise is installed, two services are preconfigured: your installa-
tion source (DVD, CD-ROM, or network resource) as a ZYPP service and a SUSE
Linux Enterprise update server as a NU service, which was added during product reg-
istration. Normally there is no need to change these settings. If you do not see a NUYUM
service, open a root shell and execute the command suse_register. A service
is added automatically.
Catalogs
Services are able to provide packages for different pieces of software or for different
software versions (typically RCE or ZENworks services do so). These are organized
in different categories called catalogs. Subscribe or unsubscribe from a catalog by
marking or unmarking the check box in front of it.
At the moment, the SUSE Linux services (YUM and ZYPP) do not provide different
catalogs. Each service only has one catalog. If Software Updater was configured during
installation or with suse_register, it subscribes to the YUM and ZYPP catalogs
automatically. If you manually add a service, you must subscribe to its catalogs.
