You want to install the -> the rpms that you got before you lost the internet connection -> but YaST2 Online Update thinks it needs to re-download all those -> patches again. -> If you are using ftp.suse.com I think this is also a problem with the amount of time that's set before the connection times out and your disconnected. When I use gFTP and I am tagging the files for downloaded it make take a few minutes to go through what I want and what I don't want (ie..KDE2's apps directory) and the connection can time out before I'm 1/2 way through deciding what I need and don't. This is a problem. My solution..although a stupid solution is to just use ncftp in 3 xterms connected at the same time and instead of going through the directories for just what I want. I download all the RPM's .. I just set and forget. That way I don't have to keep reconnecting. I know SuSE doesn't want people hanging out on the ftp site and taking up one of the max connections..but the short timeout on the ftp server is just wrong and a pain in the ass. If your on a modem I bet this is why it dies before you get the whole list. Regards, -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org cat CE|ME|NT|XP > /dev/null
