On my older PC I have downloaded and installed all patches for my SuSE8.1 using YAST2 Online Update. Now I have installed SuSE8.1 on my new PC. Is there a way I can take the files from my old PC and use those to install the updates on my new PC? It would save a tremendous time in downloading all the patches over my 28k modem. Where are the files after they are downloaded and installed? I never checked the box 'remove files after installation', so they should be some where. -- Frits Wüthrich Pentaxianado

Yes, they are in /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/8.1/ You have to create a local mirror or a patch CD. This is documented in the Unofficial Suse FAQ. Create a dir, for example /usr/local/update/, and in it copy the files from i386 and down, so as to have /usr/local/update/i386/update/8.1/. Then export /usr/local/update, and give it to YOU. Download (rsync of ftp) the whole /usr/local/update/i386/update/8.1/patches/ from Suse. Read the faq for more details, or ask me some other day :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Does anybody know where the YAST2 Online Update patches are saved after download and installation? -- Frits Wüthrich Pentaxianado

How about when you download a RPM from another site and click the install button on the KDE Web Browser Konqueror. I recently went to arkeia and clicked on the download. At the top of the page there was a button that said something like install rpm. I clicked it and YOU started and it was installed (although it hung at the very end). I tried to find the .rpm file with locate, find, grep, etc, but wasn't able. I suppose it doesn't matter if the original .rpm is retained, but I just like to confirm this is normal behavior or if it is option-able somewhere that I overlooked. Thank you. -- __________________________ DJ mailto: linux_programmer@hotmail.com

It depends on what you use for downloading. YOU (Yast) saves the rpm there, but other programs may save somewhere else or not at all. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
