The patches that you have installed are saved in /var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/8.0/<pkg-grp>
Although I have never done it, you should be able to save this directory, restore it later and apply the patches manually using rpm to a fresh install.
Yes you can. I tried it beetween two machines and all is good... [snip]
A better approach would be to restore the patches, then start YOU, and let it install them for you. In this case, YOU should be smart enough to see that you already have the patches and not download them again, although it may always download the _list_ of available patches. This is the way I would try it first.
Yes. And it works like a charm too. Francis
