Regardless of how the the image was generated, if It's SLES, you register the installation and it will automatically add the update repositories. You will need an activation code, though.<br>
You have to purchase maintenance for that, or get an eval code.<br>
FYI, the current release of SLES 11 is sp3, soon to be sp4.<br>
Is the image a custom build intended to perform a specific role? Unless it's a intended to be a JEOS with it's own update support, you are probably better off installing from the iso.<br>
If you're in a VM environment, the easiest thing to do is build templates for the specialized loads you want. However, you still need to register to get updates to maintain the installations.<br>
Some older openSUSE rpms are compatible with SLES, but if you are using SLES, I assume you need a supported OS. If that's the case, adding openSUSE rpms to the mix may be counterproductive.<br>

.raw files are file that SuseStudio generates that gets slapped on a<br>
HardDrive so you dont have to go thru the installation process. It is more<br>
like a Vagrant box I guess.<br>
<br>
All the machines in my office are auto enabled by SLES mechanism.<br>
<br>
So there are not issues there. How do you hunt for OpenSuse/SLES packages<br>
that are compat and I am trying to find the idea here on how to get those<br>
packages on the box.<br>
