[opensuse] Updating OpenSuse 10.3

System:Configuration:Install Software calls a title-less YaST2 module
where updating the system is hidden under:
Package:All Packages:Update

I configured it to use the following repositories:
Filter:Repositories:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/
http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.3
http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_10.3/
http://ftp.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.3/
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/10.3/
Is this a good choice ?
Unfortunately i don't see how to edit or change the list there.
And in the Change Log i miss the version names in the list.

Updating Channels in Smart-Gui Package Manager is just as awkward,
and it lists different addresses:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/non-oss/
http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/
RPM System (no URL)
Is the first just an alias of the URL used in Yast ?

What is openSUSE Updater using ?
It currently reports two security updates i don't see in Yast2.
And Yast2 just updated a few apps that Updater did not see.

You can rightly say that i don't understand how to update OpenSuse 10.3,
but i would also say it's a bit of a mess :-)
Especially in contrast to the professionalism that goes into building
all those updates.

Kind regards Philippe
