Thanks for this, Henry. I renamed the 8.0 directory, and online update stopped crashing. Presumably I now have to add back the files/directories one by one if I want to avoid downloading them again. I'm having a look at fou4s, but I'm not sure how far it and YOU are compatible. Best wishes Kevin

Sorry Kevin - sent direct again rather than list <BG>

fou4s works fine for me. Then I just copy the cached download to other machines and update them all. No doubt I could get fou4s to use a networked cache, but live is too short when you have something that works fine.

I just follow the instructions on the website. www.gaugusch.at/fou4s/ Quick Start RPM version I don't bother with setting the server - just use the default. sometimes I need to use fou4s -a -i but fou4s tells me when I need that Having updated one machine I just copy /var/cache/fou4s/*** to the other machines and run fou4s again on the other machines. I needed to use something other than YOU since I don't have a dialup connection on any of the machines, and YOU will not work with a proxy. fou4s sorted me out. I think the proxy was set up via my browser settings. -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services

Well thank you Lester. Will try it out :-)

Is it really true that YOU doesn't work with a proxy? I wonder because I use YOU (SuSE 7.3) behind a firewall which blocks HTTP, a proxy must be used. I've only set HTTP_PROXY and FTP_PROXY in /etc/rc.config and YOU somehow works.
I think the proxy was set up via my browser settings.
I don't say it's not possible but it sounds strange. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
Thanks to everyone for the advice. I used fou4s on a test machine, and it seemed to be pretty good - the only thing is that it seems to download updates for all packages, not just for the installed ones. I am going to try Lester's idea of reusing the cache on other machines - this would save a lot of download time on my network. I am also going to look at apt, as Ben suggests - it has got some good reviews. Thanks Kevin
