Thanks to irc.freenode.net #suse people and a bit of poking around, I ended up with the following procedure: 1/ Setup a SuSE local mirror starting with your already existing updates (I used /mnt/root2/mirror as local directory, replace it with your own choice of local directory): # su - # mkdir -p /mnt/root2/mirror/suse/i386/update # cp -pr /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.1 /mnt/root2/mirror/suse/i386/update # rsync -rltv rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.1 /mnt/root2/mirror/suse/i386/update 2/ In YOU, click on "new server", type of URL "directory", enter "/mnt/root2/mirror/suse" then proceed with the update. To do further updates, just rerun the "rsync" command in a shell and run YOU again, it should auto select the local. 3/ To update other machines on your LAN, either rsync locally your mirror (this is what I'll do since one of my machines is a laptop) or mount it using NFS. Hope this helps, Laurent On Tue, 2004-05-25 at 23:55, Laurent GUERBY wrote:
Hi, I have two PCs at home on a 100Mbit LAN, one is running SuSE 9.1 Pro and the other one is running Fedora Core 1. I intend to switch the FC1 PC to SuSE 9.1 Pro soon. Is there an easy way to avoid downloading again all the updates with YOU? (eg: putting them on an NFS share?)
Thank you in advance,
Laurent
