Installation sources are stored in:
/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/
However, this information should not be edited.

There is no config file. But if a source is not entered correctly, it won't be accepted anyway. You can make changes using the YaST interface.

Where save the yast this informations???

There is sure a config file, where yast read it from.

I've changed the source of install with yast, but it will be easier to know where yast has saved this informations.

I need it cause, i must always change it for each system, which i've insatlled it.

So just it will be easier to copy the file and finish.

Are you see what i mean??

Sorry for my english.

As I told you previously, the information of each source is stored in /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/. You may not like it, but this is the only place! I was surprised myself when I found out. Check /var/log/YaST2/y2log if you want to find it out yourself. You can try to copy and paste the whole tree. But I wouldn't recommend it.

There is a command to add installation source, which doesn't require the YaST interface. 'installation_sources -a <url>' will add a new source and 'installation_sources -s' lists available sources.

OK, i don't want to know where are the sources of the packege which has downloaded.

As you said this command 'installation_sources -a <url>', add a new source for installtions and make it active or on, and make cd off.

I want to know where has yast save this command???

Ex.:-
ftp://sunsite.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Lin...st-source-java

this FTP i've add it with yast under change insatll sources, and have made CD off and this FTP on.

Where has yast saved this FTP path???

This what i would like to know.

e.g.:
/var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000002/DESCRIPTION/description

Code:

=Type: UnitedLinux
=URL: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distrib...x10.0-GM-Extra

There is no single file that contains the installation sources.

I will not repeat this again. If this answer is still not sufficient, good luck!
