I'll second this question. I have the DVD handy, but would like to not need it
to install. I currently have in addition to the guru and packman sources..

/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra/
/suse/i386/current/inst-source-extra


Now, according to the suse website, I can add three repositories to get all.
but I can't find these:

There are three installation sources that can be added which will give you
almost everything the boxed version has to offer. Depending on the mirror you
are using, the first part may be different. The directories are:

* opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source
* opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java
* suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra
