As I just crawled the search results from novell's global search for the
term "update.novell.com" I found the following TID:

TID10100052 - URLs used to update Linux products
(http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...i?10100052.htm)

It contains a further link to http://support.novell.com/linux/registration/
with lots of worthfull information.
Hope that fixes my problem, will try tomorrow.
