Basically, that's what I meant. For instance, my installation source is
SUSE's FTP site for 9.2 and if I install a newer version than the
'official' 9.2 version, it's in red, regardless of whether install
source is CD/DVD/FTP. I wasn't thinking in terms of a 'meta-repository'
for YaST, but that makes sense. Do they really have that, or do they
just go by what's on the install source?
