Just run "SuSEwatcher" and configure it by right-clicking. Ever since they uploaded a huge kernel update that I can't download over this dial-up connection I've had to remove it since it will always be RED no matter what until I DL it.
I have a trick for those big patches. First, I note the full path (or I get it manually), and then I create a little script, like this:
wget --timeout=45 --waitretry=10 --continue "ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/suse_update/8.2/rpm/i586/kernel-source-2. 4.20.SuSE-108.i586.rpm" wget --timeout=45 --waitretry=10 --continue "ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/suse_update/8.2/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.20-1 08.i586.rpm"
You just never know what you're going to learn around here. :-) Thanks for the cool tip Carlos. I may try to get that update after all. -- Bryce Hardy (Santa Rosa, CA) cygnia@sonic.net
