Has anyone installed the GNOME update for ppc 7.1 that is on the ftp site? Is there an easier way to do it than selecting each file individually with Yast?

You can download them all on your harddrive with wget. First, create a list with the needed packages: lynx -dump \ http://www.suse.de/de/support/download/GNOMES/ppc/update_for_7_1/base.html | \ grep ftp.suse.com | grep -v zq1 | sed 's#^.* ftp#ftp#' > base.txt base.txt contains all files to download, please use a mirror if possible. Then download all the rpms into one directory with: wget --timestamping `cat base.txt` Then start yast and choose "install packages" and use a directory as location, use the directory with the gnome rpms. Note that yast1 can not handle symlinks, only regular files. Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
