there is another error, too:

ERROR: Could not add
'http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/mirrors.pl/sys_ven_id=0x1028&sys_dev_id=0x01B2&osname=sles10&basearch=x86_64&repo_config=$repo_config&dellsysidpluginver=up2date&redirect=1&redir_path=':

ERROR: 'dell-hw-specific-repository' is not a valid catalog.

this is caused by the fact that sles 10 just accepts signed installation
sources but the dell repository is unsigend. as a simple workaround one
can downgrade the security level by

"rug set-prefs security-level checksum"

cf. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=224124

| the "//" is a typo, can anyone fix this or give me a hint whom i
