I had my netbook with me on a work trip. This netbook has a script that I dropped into cron.daily that runs zypper up.

On the next reboot opensuse refused to load.
Your problem is because of: 1) zypper default to download packages and install them before going to next package. Breaking that in the middle can mean broken system. Default with modern computers must be download in advance, or even better to check with package size estimates from zypper and if there is room, download all in advance, otherwise warn user that system must be running as long as update process.
it is possible to alter /etc/zypp/zypp.conf to set this as default, download in advance. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
