So your complete system. Online Update is the updating of individual programs. These are only security patches, not version patches. If there is a vurlnerabilty found in openssh and this is solved, the Online Update (also refered to as YOU for Yast Online Update) will update openssh. It will NOT do a version update from a program, so no KDE version X to KDE version Y. It is indeed a bit confusing in the naming. About this: Could it be possible to have some short explanation below the Icon with the text (in only the GUI) that explains in one sentence what the icon precicely does? e.g: XXX Online Update XXX Software Management XXX -Security updates XXX -Installation and XXX -for individual program XXX -removal of software XXX Media Check XXX Installation Source XXX -MD5Sum of your CD XXX -Adding and removing XXX -and/or DVD XXX -installation sources Where the Xses are the icon. The GUI is scrollable, so a bit extra lines should not really be a problem. houghi -- The wind doth taste so bitter sweet, Like Jaspar wine and sugar, It must have blown through someone's feet, Like those of Caspar Weinberger. -- P.
