Three SUSE 10.0 distributions: OSS, GM (== CDs from retail), and Retail DVD. I have the Retail DVD. As usual, I want additional packages (in particular, multimedia support).
I want
1) a cron job with a daily check for needed updates (security and recommended) a) That cron job should already download, but doesn't need to. b) I have several machines, patches should be downloaded only once. c) I want an email with available updates. I want the email only _if_ there are updates. (I.e., I want something like apticron from Debian, optionally plus downloads :-)
2) a command to install all outstanding patches.
Start YOU. Press "Automatic Download of Patches" Button. Follow Dialog. If there is need you can do your own cron jobs with "online_update" command line tool. See man online_update. For the rest you need to understand that YOU only provides updates in regards to bug or security fixes. They only come from the official YOU SUSE Servers. Additional package sources are different and explained on opensuse.org like you found. Ciao, Marcus
