Hi David, Thanks for the advice but what does
"Just right-click opensuseupdater in the sys tray"
mean.
I have opensuse10.3 and cannot find anything matching this? What is a "tray" - is it the list of options in a pop-up or pull-down menu? Which menu - I have searched all I could find.

In the KDE menu it is "start menu->System->Desktop Applet->openSuSE Updater Applet" its icon looks like the green opensuse lizard head with wings on it in the \ position (best description I have). It runs the check for automatic system updates. The problem is that if you have a number of repositories added, it must check/refresh each one that can eat up 10 minutes easily with a lot of disk I/O and cpu.
Not entirely true about time and repositories...if one opens YaST->Software Repositories, each repo can be set to 'not' refresh every time. Then, say, after a week, go back and set them to refresh to see if there's anything 'new' in each one. It takes a few more seconds, but no big deal. The only 'difficult' thing of it all is if one is on dial-up (derned satellite is far too expensive for those of us on fixed incomes). -- "Democracy cannot survive overpopulation...
