4.4 Using the Add-On Products Program

The Add-On Products program is available during the SLE operating system installation and after installation at YaST > Software > Add-On Products. It lets you install additional products that may reside on a separate CD, ISO image file, or installation source.

Because paravirtual machines present removable media, such as a CD inserted in the CD reader, as a non-removable disk device, the Add-On Product program does not recognize inserted CD as valid add-on product media.

To use the Add-On Products program on a paravirtual machine, you must set up the add-on product media as a network installation source or copy the ISO image file to the virtual machine’s filesystem.

On fully virtual machines, you can use the Add-On Products program to specify add-on product media as a network installation source, an ISO image file, or as a CD inserted in the host’s CD reader.
