It is easier to type:
  zypper up
(update) and leave console window on another screen doing refresh, come later, 
check what has to be changed, and type yes or no. There is no popups during 
repository refresh phase that make YaST line in task manager blinking, like 
it has something to say. 

  zypper in
(install) is another pair of shoes. YaST is more comfortable, but if you 
update only one package or one type of packages (KDE or GNOME) than zypper 
can be placed in some small script that will do it without asking a question.
