Hi,

We use SuSE Linux on about 8 servers here, and we do on-line updates as often 
as needed.

I have been thinking that having eight connections all downloading the same thing is a massive waste of bandwidth :)

Is there anyway I can set up a YaST2 on-line update server so that my local servers update via that, this way I won't be wasting SuSE's and my own 
bandwidth. I know its an ftp server, but what files/folders would I need to copy from the server?

I presume that I would need everything in 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2 but are there any other files to 
actually tell on-line update whats new?

Thanks in advance...
