okay this makes sense, but could someone fix the code so that it recognizes this and then pops up a message that the update has already been done. I shouldn't be seeing compress failures down inside the applydeltaiso.c code.
That seems reasonable, although I'm not sure how easy that is for the developers.
So does anyone know how to make an iso image with the current patches? I am particularly interested in the 10.3 release since it took me over 8 hours just to patch this release to current levels. I can install a whole complete system in under 1 hour. It shouldn't be taking 8 hours to patch it afterwards.
I'm sure you'd be able to Google guides on how to respin the ISO with the updated patches, but this is very advanced territory. If the bottleneck for installing all of the patches is your bandwidth, it might be time to consider setting up a proxy (hey, it's almost as advanced). The only time SUSE did a respin was with the Rug debacle; I'd say the 'formal' response would be to upgrade to the latest version as it's not going to have as many available patches.
If I lose a system, I don't want to spend 8 hours trying to get the install right.
It already takes me 17 hours to painfully do a restore, after losing the root partition. I don't need another 8 hours.
I don't mean to rub salt into the wound but shouldn't the backup be a recent copy of your system, and therefore not need an OS reinstall or major patching? ;) Cheers, henare -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
