Hello all
I have a number of boxes that do not have (and will never have) access
to the Internet, as well as a number of boxes that connect via slow
connections (56K modems) and I need a solution to provide system
patches for these computers. The best thing that I can think of is to
put all the patches on a CD (or CDs) and provide it to the users.
Will it be enough to just download the updated RPMs from one of the
mirrors. For example, go to
ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm
download everything under this directory put it on a CD and be done or
do I need anything else?

This is explained on the unofficial suse faq, article "4. How can I use YaST2 Online Update YOU for my local mirror ?" Have also a look at: "http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/articles/you.html".A

Almost. You have to reproduce part of the tree.
ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/unix/linux/suse/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm

If you can set it on a local mirror, it can be better: if a file is missing, it is easier to correct instead of creating a new CD. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
