Why does the howto refer to Zen-updater ("updater icon on you taskbar/panel")? And no reference to YOU? I was under the impression that the way to patch a fresh install was with YOU.
On 10.1, I found it effective to uninstall zmd, zen-updater, mono, etc. Then YaST and its online update module can be used to maintain a system with a manually added update server. It ends up working like in 10.0.
A couple of weeks ago, I did exactly as you did (unistalled manually zmd, rug, zen-updater etc), but since then YOU says "There are no patches" and in the kernel messages I get a line about "missing rug/zmd" or something like that when I open YOU. It is over a month now since I installed that SUSE version and no update yet (except a huge update YOU did before I erased zmd/rug etc). Something is wrong, right? How do I add manually an update server? I was under the impression that there is a module of YaST doing this...Am I wrong? IMHO, there should be a straightforward message of warning in the frontpage of openSUSE.org website about the problems with system maintenance in 10.1 along with a straighforward solution. Don't get me wrong. It just seems to me that a casual/new user will never find out that something is wrong with his/her fresh 10.1 install unless somebody warns him. --Dimitris Kalamaras
