Well, if you defined lots of repositories as YaST installation sources, then a "system update" would fetch *all* available new packages (as far as I understand) - this it usually not what I want, I much prefer *selected* and targeted upgrades. For something like that, the software management tool might be better. > File a wishlist bug in bugzilla for it and see what the yast developers > think of it. Or join the novellforge YaST project and submit a patch Well, I won't do that because I think there is no chance to succeed. However, I think the names are really confusing (might have confused myself as well) and some improvement (whatever that is; discuss! Distinguishing between upgrade and update, as proposed, is obviously not the right solution) would be helpful...
