Hi All Another beginner's question. One of the things I hated about Windows 2000 was that everytime you reinstalled you had to download the huge service patch 2. Either that or pay 20 dollars to get it on a cd. I noticed that when I used Yast Online Update (YOU) that when it downloads the packages, and I am not talking about selecting indvidual packages, but just accepting what Yast tells me -- that should tell you about the level of Suse mastery I have -- anyway, I have noticed that after you download and install the packages, it gives you the option to delete them or not. I select not to, and I was wondering where those packages have ended up if they have not been deleted. What I am hoping is that you can burn them to cd and then later, when you mess up your machine and have to reinstall, you can update from your backup and only use the online update to get things you don't have yet. I am trying to avoid having to make ever larger downloads to keep things up to date. So, specifically, my question is: Can you save online update packages to a cd and then install them from the cd, and if so, how do you do it? I know how to make an iso image and burn it to disk, so that doesn't need to be explained unless there are some tricks to it, but I would appreciate instruction in how to do the rest if it is possible, and, as beginners before me have said, the long version please, if you don't mind. Thank you
