We have an older computer without net access, on which we had installed 10.0 without too much trouble. Now, we have installed 10.1, and are having no end of trouble. I'd like to try some updates, but I only know how to do it with zen via my broadband net access.
What I'd like to do is download the updates onto my net-connected machine, copy them onto CD's, and update the other computer that way (one of the motives is to hopefully get a driver for the ancient winmodem in that machine).
Is this possible, and how could I do it? It is relatively simple to add a directory of rpms in smart as an installation source. If the machine does not run X (and therefore doesn't use the auto mounting of KDE or Gnome), you may need to manually mount the CD, but you could use smart to load the updates, or rpm from
John E. Perry wrote: the command line. If you have X (and KDE for example), you can easily add the CD as a removable installation source (for smart-gui). You would probably have a harder time adding it as an installation source for Yast/Zen without the repo data and digital signature.
