I then start YOU and select "user defined location". I also assume that it does not matter whether "Manually Select Patches" or "Reload All Patches from Server" is selected. Correct?
No, you should create the exact same directory setup as on the ftp server. Yast will create the /var/lib/YaST2 structure, and I have no idea what will happen if you use the same sub-tree for both source and destination. Copy (recursively) /var/lib/YaST2/.../i386/update/9.2 to a convenient -different- location in the tree.
The patch files are essential, without those you are going nowhere. I have no idea what YOU will do when it encounters a patch file with no corresponding rpm, and you will definitely have many.
Actually nothing. What I have done in the past is copy the /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/ directory structure from one PC to another and then run YOU. YOU will -not- download an update already downloaded unless told to. This way it will still download patches that have not been downloaded and will use the ones that have already been downloaded to do the update. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
