Ian, at least on SuSE 9.3 (a bit old, I know) there is a command line utility called online_update ... Volkmar On Thu, 31 Aug 2006, Ian Grant wrote:

Failing that, does anyone know how to run it from the command line so it doesn't need somoeone to press keys?

The only solution I found was to integrate the patches as an additional installsource. Using "rug" in a postinstall script is quite problematic, as it is not able to install the libzypp patch. Be careful - you need to create an index in the mirror of the patch directory and you need an update for your install images. It will be still a lot of work and I don't think there are any step-by-step instructions in the net. I ran into too much troubles and I'm not able to document it in a way where someone else is able to follow.
