Hello,
Hi Steve
Sorry if this is the wrong list. I'm moving from Mandriva to Suse 10.0. I'm a little confused about the difference between Online Update and System Update. Am I right in thinking that System Update would be used if no net connection or if you had updates on a disc? Thanks for any help.
Online update is for delivery of patches and updates from SUSE/Novell on an 'as-needed' basis. System update is for moving from say, version 10.0 to 10.1, larger version upgrades.

systems update has never worked for me. i have opensuse 10.0 and yast always shows errors in it that i don't seem to be able to clear.
any suggestions? thanks................ed
Hi Edward System update is very intrusive and there will be a need to specify how you want things resolved. It's not for the faint of heart, and although I've done it a few times, I tend to reinstall these days rather than do a system update. Cheers Pete
