Patch CD Update

Overview
There is also the possibilty to provide the patches on a CD ROM.
Insert the CD ROM with the patches and start the "Patch CD update"
in YaST2 Control Center.

Description
The patch structure and the directories where the patches are
located are exactly the same as on the ftp server.
The path on CD ROM starts with the {ARCHITECTURE} directory,
e.g. the path on ftp server is:
/pub/suse/{ARCHITECTURE}/update/{SuSE-Version}/patches/*

the directory structure on the CD ROM is:
{ARCHITECTURE}/update/{SuSE-Version}/patches/*

Additional hint
First step in Patch CD Update is to copy all available patch
descriptions (for the patches which are not yet installed) from the
CD to the harddisk.
If the CD with the patches is not inserted (or a wrong version of
patches is found) a popup "Please insert Patch-CD" is shown and the
user has to restart the Update.
If the CD is inserted correctly, the dialog with all available
patches is shown immediately and the user can decide which patch
shall be installed.
