Am back at this after a long time: finally got some spare time to play
around again. I think I will have to follow your suggestion Carlos, if
I cannot create a zypp source and add it using the suseRegister.conf
file (update configuration?).

Thanks for the link Michael. I found just a bit of extra information on

Then limit the bandwidth:
--bwlimit=KB
Based on the rsync script, the fact that patch, delta, and full rpms may
all be important, and to save bandwidth by preventing unnecessary files,
my new script is the one below:
#!/bin/bash
PATCHDIR=/usr/local/src/update/patches

Thanks Marcus.

When you mention it, yes. But I got my problem fixed with the patch
rpm, which is why I was fixated on the patch rpms. I am scared about
the number of FULL rpms I will have to download-

Thanks Rauch, it seems I was really taking the long way round!

Hi Everyone,
I am just using this script as a starting point: just pulling all the
patch rpms that are available in the updates repository. Maybe I will
rewrite it to pull only the installed rpms later, but I hope it will
work as a starting point to get things working. My HAL cdrom access

That is an inconvenience: I found out that I need to update every

a. After joining to a windows domain, removable device access
fails (apparently HAL policy problem)
b. Evolution keeps asking for password when connecting to

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 onl

I need to update my opensuse machines at times, and the uplink is not so
