This should have gone to the list: I agree YAST2 is most useful for the automatic updates, but should go farther and allow you to update gnome and kde, as well as other software. I also can't figure out how to get it install software via ftp, which you can do easily with YAST1. My wish list would also include a kernel module tool to load and unload these at boot. For example I need to load usb-storage and ide-scsi at boot up. --- Marianne Taylor On Sunday 19 August 2001 06:08, you wrote:

I decided to try YOU today after installing 7.2 and it is kind useless that YOU does not check what version is actually installed on the system it updates. I have already downloaded and installed all these RPMs and yet, YOU thinks that I still need to update the system. What gives?
I've the same, none the less it's really to nice to be able to upgrade the system this way and I hope it is an application under heavy development. I found some other annoyances and I hope that they are being dealt with:
1) YOU does not work via a proxy (even when the env variable ftp_proxy) is being defined 2) The upload does not abort (for me) when I press the abort button 3) The download does not continue where it left after a forced left broken connection. This is a pity in case one is halfway a 16M download :( 4) YOU is not able to online update other modules than "update". It would be nice if it could update the modules "kde", "gnome", "X", etc as well
