It should... 8.1 is no longer mantained:

So, the updates are not probably in the same place, and what you will find there are old patches.

Thanks again for letting me know that I was just spinning my wheels trying to do a YOU update in my old (sigh) 8.1. Is it possible to run YOU against the "discontinued" directory. I made a couple of stabs at it but don't know whether YOU just can't be used against that directory or if it's because I don't know how to specify the path properly. I tried specifying it at various levels, but either I never got the it specified correctly or YOU simply can't be used against "discontinued". If I have a crash before I FINALLY get around to upgrading (I have all of the CDs from 8.2 to 9.2), it might be nice to be able to at least get back to the last level of patches, once I've done my usual YAST recovery. Thanks, Greg W
