Better is to use rpm -Fvh *.rpm, which will only update the packages you have installed, plus any needed for dependencies. that's right. I will add another section to the current FAQ to describe the rpm -Fhv *.rpm stuff ! stefan
Can I just put all the RPMS from the various directories ( base, applications etc ) in the same directory and update using yast from there?
You can put them all in the same directory. I don't know about using yast for multiple packages, but IIWY I would use an xterm and rpm -Fvh *.rpm, you will see all the messages that may be shown, any errors, etc. I know before (8.0) yast couldn't do multiple packages from the command line, but it could have changed. -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
