[LUNI] rpmfind (rpms for Suse)?

When I ran SuSE, I found it was a very good idea to add one of the 
mirrors as an installation source. That way, I could install things in 
YaST without having to locate the CD or DVD.

I believe one of the 9.2 mirrors is located in Chicago, 
http://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/suse/i386/9.2/suse/ (You may have to fiddle 
with the url to get the installation source)

SuSE is very YaST based, and I never found something like rpmfind for 
it. Some items on the pro installation are only available in certain 
places for their licensing restrictions and space issues.
