No, you're not reading it correctly.
In 10.1, the online update window in YaST lists all updates, whether they have been installed or not.
So, you're saying that when the window simply goes away, the patches are already installed, thus there's nothing to do? It is quite misleading to see a bunch of patches listed with check boxes to select them from. How is one to know if the patch is installed or not?
Cannot create the installation source Try again?
Which URL exactly are you trying to add?
Multiples from the list. I first tried one that is local to me: ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/ Then: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/suse/
No help there either.
I'm at my wits end on this one. I've been using SuSE since 6.4 and rely on it as my primary Linux solution. I've got a number of clients running SuSE, but if I can't get this update to work on this box, I'll be looking for another distro.
But it is working, you said so yourself, the updates were installed
My confusion lies in the fact that when online update reopens, I see the same patches listed prior to the attempt to run online update, how do I know what needs to be installed? -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin
