So if i use YOU to download the patches i will not get: signature check for patch into files failed. Cannot load patch information. Because when i used wget i got: signature check for patch into files failed. Cannot load patch information. When YOU finished downloading the patches i will execute: online_update -u /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/ -i and it will install the patches with out giving me the error: signature check for patch into files failed. Cannot load patch information. Why is it giving me that error when i used wget to download the patches? Regards On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 17:35:00 +1100 Michael James wrote:

What is the best way to download all patches to a dir and install them from the dir where it downloaded to?

YOU puts all its patches into: /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/

Well that's for an i386 machine running 9.2, make the necessary adjustments...

What I do is to make /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt a symlink to a directory with install and update for all my systems. Then once one system has done an update, the downloads go quickly for the rest.

Don't let 2 systems run YOU at once!

When I go to do an install I take a CD of that update directory and "pre-stock" the new machine before the first YOU run. It still goes online for the filelist but saves a lot of download. In Australia downloads are charged.

Hope that helps, michaelj

If you download a patch from www.suse.com and you want to install it do you have to install it via YOU? can i use rpm -Uvh * ? I Will download the patches again will see what happens. Regards On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 14:52:38 +0100 (CET) "Carlos E. R." wrote:

Is it "into" or "info"?

My guess you have errors in the directory:

/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/patches/

that contains the information files. Download them all again. Notice that this directory is different from:

/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/

that contains the rpm patches.

Of course you can. But notice that YOU does a few things more, like running suseconfig afterwards. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
