Hello list-readers,
I want to upgrade my 9.1 video drivers to the nVidia supplied drivers (enable 3-d). However i want to do this at home where i've got a modem internet connection.
The way to upgrade is via yast online update according to the doc's.
Is there a way for me to download the nVidia drivers at work (fast internet) and then use yast online update on a file at home so i don't have to download the (6MB) driver at home ??
Thanks. .

Yes..if you have similar systems work/home...this way you can update the home system to same standard as work system.. **If it is only the drivers you want to download and the systems is not similar..then still yes..but that is another story.** To make a Suse update cd is VERY easy once you get the hang of it.. Fire up k3b Blank RW cd if neccessary. select ..create data cd in directory listing go to../var/lib/YAST2/you/mnt...drag and drop i386 on cd. Select burn Select k3b defaults...to avoid any fancy stuff...otherwise yast will refuse it. Select burn. Completed...pop cd to the install cdrom. Fire up yast Select patch cd update....do all the required selections along. Then...NEXT...if all is well yast will read the cd. Have done this plenty times with success. I believe the same can be done in xcdroast. HTH -- Johan Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning - Still learning.
