Software and Firmware repositories broken with openSUSE 10.3?

[Philip Tait]

A stray '/' got in there - now fixed.

I also updated the page for the 10.2 zypper subcommand difference you
pointed out. I was able to install srvadmin-base on a 2950 running 10.2,
using the modified instructions.

Thanks for your feedback.
