Evening: I'm downloading the latest SuSE (6.4) to my hard drive at the moment. I would like to ask a few questions before installing it on my machine. First, I come from a Red Hat background, and am familiar with how Red Hat lays out their CD to do an install. SuSE is a little different in that it appears to offer a lot more. Normally, when Red Hat released updates, and I wanted to build a new install CD, I went to the directory where the RPMS where, replaced them with the updated or new RPMS from Red Hat's site, and then I need to run a small utility program in the release to update the package listing for the next time I wanted to do an install. How does this work with SuSE? I noticed that SuSU has released security updates, patches, enhancemnets, etc. Do I just replace the existing packages with the new ones, and install as normal, or is there some master list that needs to be updated before I actually do the install. I would like to save myself a little bit of time by installing all of the latest stuff the first time. Next, is there a document that describes the file structure layout for SuSE. I'm not sure, but I believe Red Hat is not 100% strict when adherirng to the proposed directory layout for a standard Linux machine. I've heard that SuSE is very good with regards to this.
