[ale] SUSE Linux and repo confusion, may be repeat but please bear

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

.raw files are file that SuseStudio generates that gets slapped on a
HardDrive so you dont have to go thru the installation process.  It is more
like a Vagrant box I guess.

All the machines in my office are auto enabled by SLES mechanism.

So there are not issues there.  How do you hunt for OpenSuse/SLES packages
that are compat and I am trying to find the idea here on how to get those
packages on the box.
