Dropped YAST going SMART

I've been trying to setup SuSE 10.1 on my laptop and finally got tired of trying to get YAST Software Update to work. I finally gave in and switched to SMART. Here are a few things I do to set it up:

• Follow these directions to setup SMART
• Note when installing SMART answer Y to all repositories (channels). The risky ones are marked inactive. If you don't say yes to them it is tough finding the repositories to add later.
• Next before you do a major update (like update all) make sure you configure mirrors for ftp.suse.com, ftp.gwdg.de (Guru) and packman.inode.at (Packman)
