I am very frustrated. An associate installed SuSE on a server to which I am remotely ssh'd.
I cannot find adequate documentation for yast/yast2 anywhere. In fact, there is *NO* man yast2 !?!?

Can't get patches from server. Please try to get patches from another SuSE ftp server.
More than one person has been getting for the past few days...I had it on occaison also. Probably best thing is to try and launch yast and then go through the menu's trying to different FTP servers until one works.
<snip /> So, I have also tried plain old yast: yast Installation settings Select installation medium Installation from an FTP site ftp.suse.com /pub/suse/i386/current F5 CAUTION You are installing with a YaST of version 1.11 The version of YaST that belongs to the selected installation medium is 2.5. Please boot from the boot disk or the first CD and update your system while running in the boot environment. Remember, I am ssh'd into this box. How can I update yast to v2.5 ??? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
