Hi, What is the best way to download all patches to a dir and install them from the dir where it downloaded to? i read that online_update -g will download the patches without installing them. I used wget to download all the updates but i get a signature error on the rpm's when i want to install them. Will this happen aswell if i use online_update to download the patches?

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 -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166
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?

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. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
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.

Hi,
Thanks for mentioning
/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/patches/
/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/
I used wget to get the files for
/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/patches/ and
/var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/
Thanks

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