[opensuse] ZenUpdater/installer/Smart v. Opensuse Updater v. Yast
Ok so the "default" update/software mechanism in opensuse 10.2 is ZMD/Smart. So what is this thing I see in there called "opensuse updater"? Does it run off the same database as ZMD???? what about using Yast for software updates/installation? I have used it to install some packages, seems to work just fine...... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

It keeps telling me there are 25 updates available. BUT, when I start it it says there are none. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, it does not use ZMD ( and that is, a feature actually) what about using
Yast for software updates/installation?
Yast works fine in 10.2 too ;)

opensuseupdater is just the same as the old pdater. It uses a helper script to check for updates and for installing it just calls yast2 online_update. So it is a thin GUI wrapper around YAST Online Update. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
