I've been doing this 10.1 test work just like a real user: In other words I never read any release notes or documentation :-).
Meanwhile, there is all this highly confusing yast/rug/zypp/zen stuff going on changing everything about online updates out from under me. In the 10.0 incarnation I submitted bug 141063 which was closed saying all would be automatic in 10.1.
Now with RC2, I finally see some automatic things happening. Configuring the online update does seem to find a mirror for me, but at this point I get really confused:
The little updater icon turned orange with an !, so I figure that means there are updates. If I click on the icon, it does say there are updates, but if I goto yast's online update it says there aren't any.
Also if I goto software management to install some things from online factory that aren't on the CDs, the things I'm looking for don't show up until I once again manually configure a factory installation source.
So things look really confusing and inconsistent from out here in typical user land :-).
I filed a bug on this, 166069, with RC1: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=166069 But they closed it as invalid, twice. I'm strongly considering re-opening it, but I'm working on getting some better arguments from other Novell people who can add better arguments to the case. This will be much more critical for the Enterprise products. Thanks, Chad
