This doc fits exactly to my case! (I have the suse unofficial faq printed
as a book; but i somehow didn't think of looking at it.) But still i have
some questions :
Now i'm downloading with cuteFTP from ftp.suse.com. I'll create the cd as
mentioned in the doc. I'll copy the files in i386/update/8.1/patches.
Please warn me if i'm wrong. These patch files are very little files with
no extensions; named like e.g. bind8-13986, directory, etc.
But there are also patch.rpm's (and also full rpm's) on
i386/update/8.1/rpm directory. I think i also have to install them to
update my system. I'm confused. Do i need both patch files & rpm's? Which
one does yast use when making patch-cd update?
Please make things clear for me..
Thanks a lot..

Hi,
I want to update my Suse 8.1 and install the patches. But i don't want to
use YOU, because my connection at home has no good performance. Instead, i prefer downloading patches & updates at work, and burn them to a cd.
Can i do this? Downloading all patchaes & rpm's from a ftp server's suse/i386/update/8.1 ? Then at home, can Yast make an update from this cd?
