Hello list, I've recently set up SuSE 10.0 on a laptop and a PC. First the laptop, I ran the online update, but chose to remove the packages after the update. Then I realised I will also need to update the PC once the installation there completes, so I downloaded the relevant ".patch.rpm"s from a mirror. I conveniently placed them into the /var/lib/YaST/you/mnt/<.....> directory so YOU could find them. Well, during the online update, it didn't, and *then* I realised it downloads the full RPM packages during the update. The following questions arise: A) why download the full RPM, from what I read, the patch RPM does the same, but to an installed package? B) I renamed the .patch.rpm's to .rpm's, and YOU actually consumed that just fine. But, referring to A), does that actually have the same effect as installing a full RPM as YOU does? I would be grateful for any pointers, thank you!
