Hi Roger, Thanks for your reply.
I have seen them in /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt
I tried to find rpm files in the following locations: /var/lib/Yast2, /var/lib/zypp, and /var/lib/zmd: none seem to have any rpms. The command I used was find. The directory /var/lib/Yast2 does exist, but it only has two subdirectories: imported, and backup_boot_sectors. No directory called you exists within Yast2.
But, you must be sure that you have not checked the button in YAST that causes them to be deleted after they are installed.
Here is what I did: 1. Go to Yast2->Online Updates 2. Made sure that the "Keep" was checked in the "Patch" menu and the "Package" menu. However, that seems to be related with keeping an installed package. I cannot find any other option to do so. I am still looking around.
I have a script that makes a CD of this directory. Then I can use that CD to do the update in systems not on the 'net.
I would love to use your script if you could share it after my update rpms are found and kept).
The only downside is that when an update is updated, both updates will be here. Yast will still do the right thing, but the amount of data can get big. I never found a way to weed out updates in this directory that are no longer needed.
I had a similar script for Fedora Core5, so I might be able to figure that out hopefully :).
I think you can also export this directory locally and add it as a source on other systems.
Thanks for your help. I hope to hear from you soon, Prajjwal Message Disclaimer: This electronic message may contain confidential information.
