Note that the URLs for the Yast online repositories listed in the default Yast configuration are still not right (last dealt with this under SuSE 9.2, iirc) - add the text 'suse/' to the end of the repository path settings to get the online update and software installation functions to work.

There is some OpenSuSE documentation still on the Novell site: Novell Doc: OpenSUSE 11.0 - Table of Contents
