Greetings, I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find it in the archives. Is there any way to set up the YOU updates as an installation source under YaST? I'm tired of having to install a program from YaST and then updating it with YOU, I'd much rather just install the updated program from the start. URPMI for mandrake has this functionality.

You can point YaST --> Install/remove Software at the ftp update directory on SuSE. If I spot a later version in updates, I usually install it directly with "rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/<whatever>/updates/<whatever>/prog.i586.rpm". Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ....

What then if its a full upgrade of say KDE ?. Erik Jakobsen
Ok, thanks for the first part. I also usually just grab the update RPM, but my main concern was making it easier for a lot of my users who have Suse on their desktop but aren't as comfortable with the CLI stuff.
