Installing -devel Packages
The package manager provides functions for quick and easy installation of devel and
debug packages. To install all devel packages for your installed system, choose Extras
> Install All Matching — -devel Packages. To install all debug packages for your in-
stalled system, choose Extras > Install All Matching — -debuginfo Packages.
8.3.2 Installing Add-On Products
Add-on products are extensions for your system. You can install a third party add-on
product or a special extension of your SUSE Linux Enterprise, for example, the SDK
add-on or a CD with binary drivers. To install a new add-on, use Software > Add-On
Product. You can select various types of product media, like CD, FTP or local directory.
You can work also directly with ISO files. To add an add-on as ISO file media, select
Local Directory then choose ISO Images.
After successfully adding the add-on media, the package manager window appears. If
the add-on provides a new pattern, see the new item in the Patterns filter. To view the
list of all packages from the selected installation source, select the filter Installation
Sources and choose the installation source to view. To view packages from a selected
add-on by package groups, select the secondary filter Package Groups.
TIP: Creating Custom Add-On Products
Create your own add-on products with YaST Add-On Creator. Read about the
YaST add-on creator at

8.3.3 Selecting the Installation Source
You can use multiple installation sources of several types. Select them and enable their
use for installation or update using Software > Installation Source. When started, it
displays a list of all previously registered sources. Following a normal installation from
CD, only the installation CD is listed. Click Add to include additional sources in this
list. Sources can be CDs, DVDs, or network sources, such as NFS and FTP servers.
