Just a quickie - I'm trying to make an update CD for 8.1 using rsync. The question is: will all updates necessarily have a patch rpm, or may there be just a full rpm if the changes are great? Of course, due to their smaller size, I'd rather just download patches.
Theoratically They all have a patch rpm but since you will be using rsync you will basically downlaod the whole tree once currently almost a CD :-) 409MB /usr/local/update/i386/update/8.1 Try it if it fails then you will have to download the remaining look for http://susefaq./sf.net/articles/you.html to a detailed process of creating the PATCH CD including the rsync part -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
