I admit I am no rocket scientist but following these instructions seems to be beyond my limited capabilities because I cannot get the updates to work! :-) I tried running them 'everyway but loose' but all I get is an error message, "No SuSE=-patch-CD or SuSE path found".
I copy all the files/folders for /var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/8.0/<various> [without and without /patches] then run YOU as either auto or manual with the HD path set to the /var/lib/YaST/patches/i386/update/8.0/
Where am I going wrong?
Don't change your source of installation.
Keep it pointed at ftp.gwdg.de or wherever is good for you. Go for automatic or manual as you prefer.
All that copying the files over does is to save you from having to download them all over again. Yast2 will see that you already have the files that match the versions on the servers, so will only download newer files.
