Since upgrading to 10.1 I have found applying security updates has become an extremely hit-and-miss process which takes much longer than it did under SuSE 9.3. I would be very grateful if someone could answer two questions:
(1) What is the simplest way of applying security updates from the command-line? Something equivalent to online_update security
rug
(2) How do you configure it to use a local mirror instead of the far-off Austrian mirror that the Setup process likes to configure?
YAST Installation Source dialog. Change the remote source to your local mirror / directory.
I have looked at the rug man page and frankly don't understand it (the only bit I do understand turns out to be a lie: it says the only command you need is 'rug update'). I'm not interested in catalogues and services etc, I just want to install security updates.
If everything is set up rug update will do exactly that. CIao, Marcus
