[Paul Trevethan <elist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am currently running v9.0. Whilst I have decided to miss v9.1 and wait
for the next release, I was wanting to keep the current system up-to-date,
especially with security updates.

I know how to kick up YOU and go get the updates from SUSE's site
(setup by default) but that makes a considerable hit on my meagre 1Gb per
month download limit on my dsl account (particularly with kernel updates).

However, my ISP has recently decided to mirror a swag of Linux sites,
including SUSE. This is great because anything downloaded from the mirror
site is a 'free' download. It does not count as part of the monthly limit.

Can anyone advise exactly what I need to do config wise within YOU in
order to direct it to a local mirror please? Is there a particular
directory to aim at? I presume YOU needs to find some index or other? Any
pitfalls to watch for?

Thanks,
Paul.
