No, I think that is the best or are you one of those who do the full
install??? With ftp access you can pick and choose what you like, get sooner
access and more reliable updates as you working closer together with SuSE
and are not bugged by any of the stuff you may not want. I see ftp access as
more efficient in terms of use and more reliable and secure updates. Some
might even propose developing a ftp-update-tool which automatically updates
your box without your knowledge. =)
