This is a bit OT, apologies in advance. This message is about two things. One is a question about adding checksums for certain files which checksums rug/zypper complains are missing and the other is that the instructions for create_update_source may need updating. The following is what zypper sa complains about: $ sudo zypper sa \

In the crib below, BASE is set to the top-level of my network installation source. The difference between this and the instructions on the web page above is that I no longer can choose the sub-directory name to be e.g. myInstallSource as they suggest, rather create_update_source always creates $TARGET/updates where $TARGET is whatever directory name is the parameter.
