Stefan, I would have used "rpm -Fvh *" instead. That will only install updates for packages that are already installed. What you did was install all of the RPMs in the current directory, whether a previous version was installed or not.
I've never used YaST2, so I can't help you with that part of the question.

But SLES8-yast2 (with the new style) is very crazy. I've downloaded all updated packages, but how can I manage them with yast2? With yast1 I can select the directory with the new RPM-files and he shows me all packages I've installed an gives me the option to select them for an update, but in yast2 I have to configure different install-sources first. When I try to select the directory with the new packages, yast2 blubbers : ERROR(InstSrc:E_no_instsrc_on_media). I have no Update-CD, I have a bunch of updated rpm-files. I've tried "rpm -Uhv *", it works but looks a little bit messy. Is it okay? How do you handle this? Thank you for all suggestions.
