Since my first posting to the list I have received a couple of tips, thank you! One of them is to try apt4rpm. I have installed and I will try it when I have figured out if/how I can use it as I want. I will probably return to that issue later and in a separate posting. The other tip directed me to /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate to set YAST2_LOADFTPSERVER="no" to stop YOU to search for ftp-sites. Those sites are stored in /etc/suseservers. In that file I added one line "nfs://192.168.0.1/suse" before all ftp lines and when I then started YOU the default update was nfs from 192.168.0.1 and the directory /suse. Now I want to know what I should write on the line to point to hard disk and directory /suse. I have tried several different names for it but failed. I would appreciate if someone could advise me.

Hi!

Im running wget to download the patches that YOU uses to update my SuSE 8.0 boxes. I thought this is a better solution then having 3-5 different computers going out to the FTP servers separately. It works great. But...

Every time I want YOU to update my computers I have to change source. On the server, where the update files are, I change to "hard disk" and then enter the directory. On the clients I change to "Network" enter the address to the server and the directory.

Is there a way to reconfigure YOU so that I don't have to change the path to the update directory?

And if it's possible to stop YOU to go out to get a list of FTP sites it would also be a good idea because I don't need it.
