I put the line
Server=https://you.novell.com/update # for Business products
in my /etc/fou4s.conf but couldn't get anything working yet.
* I recommend changing this in the fou4s.conf of the rpm.

On SLES 8:
The wget method doesn't show any updates, even though yast online update
shows many.
The curl-method gives me a segmentation fault.
