Hi, Slight problem here. I had a friend download the updates from a suse mirror. I copied the updates to a local directory and tried to run YOU. I turned off the YAST@_LOADFTPSERVER and added the local directory to /etc/youservers but when I try to run the update I get the message: "Patch information retrieval failed." "error Unable to read the directory './i386/update/9.1/patches'." Any thoughts?

You need the directory structure if you are to use an update disk. YOU expects to find things in certain places. There is a manual method but I prefer the safety of YOU. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/
