Is it possible to update individual packages that are stored on a local hard drive in the same way it was done in yast1? The options available seem to indicate this can be done, but I have not been able to get it to work yet.
I do the same thing - mirror the updates from gwdg.de every week for each version of SuSE we have installed. I've not found a way to do it in Yast2 - the YOU doesn't seem satisfactory to me, not giving me any control or ability to install other packages - but kpackage, once I got the hang of how to use it properly, seems to be an adequate alternative. At the moment I'm still playing with SuSE 8 in a VMWare Linux guest instance running on our 7.3 box, which is waiting for a quiet time for us to nuke and reinstall it. -- Rachel
