Why are they getting installed twice? Installing all the available patches takes some time anyway. Last time I looked there were 100 or so. I have my SuSE_10 patches on an NFS share, and I run online_update -V -u 'nfs://<file server IP>/path/to/patches' , and it runs like a charm. Patches are only getting installed once.

I use SuSe 10 and the init-script route is what I use now (I'd have mentioned that) but that means that a lot (big) packages get installed 2x, adding something like up to 10 minutes to the process.
