Configuring Package Sources
Before you can use the use the Software Updater, you need to configure it to check package sources
for updates. Ask your system administrator for package sources that are available for your product
and for connection details.

service using the Software Updater configuration screen, that service will appear in the Software
Installer configuration and vice versa.

If the Software Updater icon is not in the system tray, you need to launch the program. See

the following service types: YUM, ZYPP, NU, RCE, ZENworks, user-mounted sources
(Mount), Auto-detect, and Novell Customer Center Registration.
4 Add the connection details for the source type you selected (server URI and registration key),
then click Add. The service URI is the URL of the service. Registration keys are optional and
are made available by the administrator of the service. Only ZENworks and RCE services have
registration keys.

packages.
