The '*patch.rpm' packages contain only what has actually changed in the full package on the SuSE CD.
Installation wise the only difference between the full package and the '*.patch.rpm' package is that in order to apply the '*.patch.rpm' package the original package from the CD _must_ already be installed.
Hi,
reading the above lines, how do I proceed to update? 1. Download all *.patch.rpm files 2. which command can I use to update rpm -Fhv ??
Yes, rpm -Fhv will install the patch rpms on any pre-existing rpm installed package that matches. The rpms that aren't associated with anything that's actually installed will remain inert. It works very well. HTH Fergus
Thanks a lot Michael
