I believe you need to install Smart or Yum now for 9.3 in order to use the 
repos. I don't agree with the decision to effectively terminate for Yast 
support in 9.3, but there's not much that can be done about it now I guess.

Myself, I will be upgrading my main system to 10.1 in the next few days, so I 
have delayed upgrading to 3.5.3 until after I upgrade. I have upgraded some 
test machines to 10.1 and found Yast is broken. Well, not broken, SUSE has 
changed the backend of Yast to use zen which is definitely broken. It can 
take zen a minimum of 14 min at 100% CPU thrashing just to start up!!! 
Completely unacceptable for me - especially on a laptop. The solution has 
been to install Smart (made by the guys that bring us the Guru repos).
