Dear list members: I have a machine that is not hooked into the internet. I have installed SuSE 9.3 onto this machine from DVD. I wanted update the system so I made a patch CD according to the description at: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/09/fhassel_patchcd.html I used the second, rsync method, exactly the same command that is in the description. When I wanted to update/patch the system, I got error messages about missing Multimedia Pack rpms and OpenOffice1 rpms. I realized that these packages are not included in the original install media ie these are not real updates but more likely supplementary packages/patches. My concern is if I fetch again the updates how I know which rpms not to exclude. Is there a list of the rpms/packages that are not available on the original media? (I think this type of patches should be handled different from the real updates.) Thanks, IG _______________________________________________________________________ [freemail] extra 1GB-os postafiókkal, Önnek már van? http://freemail.hu
