This is what I was afraid of from the first, but I don't have the rpm's. I didn't think to uncheck the delete box.
10.1 does not save the rpms, regardless of the ticked state of that box. I'd be happy if somebody can demonstrate the contrary by telling me where they are saved (no, they are not under /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update/ nor in any place under /var). Quite some people have asked here where they are and nobody has solved the question. :-(
I'm not sure if I can get the system back on line to download them. I may have to find a source and transfer the rpm's to disc to do a manual install. That or re-install from my installation CD and start over. Before doing that I wanted to learn as much as I could about the situation, and make sure there wasn't a bug that needed reporting.
You can, of course, download the kernel rpms them manually (on another system), or install the original one from the dvd. That doesn't mean reinstalling the whole system, just the kernel. The procedure I already explained the other day.
--ED-- P.S. Also I am trying to learn 3Ghz technology here with a 100mgz brain.

I still have your instructions, I am saving all comments on this issue, and plan to put them on a permanent disc for future reference. The installation media I have is the iso CD set which I downloaded in July and installed about the 1st of Aug. If I understand correctly, I can re-install the old kernel and then try the update again, possibly from source other than on line update, so I can have a saved rpm source to work from. But, I do want to give Joe a chance to help me learn as much as possible about what has happened. I really appreciate all the help, --ED--
