All you'd need to do is get them to a local directory and then `rpm -Uvh package.rpm' to taste. Part of the beauty of the RPM system is the ability to upgrade ( -U ) individual packages. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Long way to go, Use YaST it has the option for Udate. Or, Using YaST 1,go to Install packages, select source as a ftp ( ftp.suse.com:/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3 ) and explore power of YaST 1 :) Cheers _j -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Hi I'm sorry BT but I have no good answer to your question other then d/loading all the patches to a specific directory and then 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' or to use yast. Now I have a question of my own :) I am used to apt-get in Debian with which you can install all available updates with one command. Hopefully I have missed something in SuSE that lets you do the same. I usually do yast -> choose/install packages -> install packages, then selecting a ftp site and manually browsing all the update directories to install the patches. This is kind of tideous so my question is. Is there no way to display the contents of all the update directories or in some other way install all available updates?
