*********** Hi, This little script will download the complete 9.1 update site. You must first create this directories../mnt/i386/update/9.1/ and rsync will create the rest. Now the dots after 9.1/. are required. To avoid downloading all the source dirs you may create an --exclude list. I strongly suggest that you make an exclude list. There is a lot of stuff there. I used this when I was using 9.0 with an --exclude list with success. The script stays the same only the version change. I made a quick test before posting and it worked . The first time will take .. many .. hours but next time only changed files will be downloaded. I assume that you know how to update from a local directory. Note that there is a reason the way the local dirs is created..yast will not accept it otherwise. This script is modified to be without the exclude list.
rsync -auvv --stats --delete ftp.gwdg.de::pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/9.1/. /mnt/i386/update/9.1/.
Goodluck. Should you require more info .. feel free to ask.
ftp.gwdg.de only seems to have 8.2 and 8.1 repositories listed, any other rsync servers people know of with 9.0 on them?

wrong..have a look at this link . it is the same as above except :: replaced by / and another ftp. for rsync the one as stated..is correct and I tested it again now..copy the rsync as root to your command line .. after you created those files as instructed it will work unless your system way otherwise than mine. ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/update/ This link will show you al the versions available. -- Johan Sch Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning
