Leland, If you've ever looked closely, the "real" rpm files have names like: aaa_base.rpm cpio.rpm gdbm.rpm m4.rpm ps.rpm texinfo.rpm
If you replaced those with _identically_ named updates, you'll might be fine, but note that there are other files, other places in the CD that have information such as the size of the packages, and dependency information. If that metadata changes enough between versions of a package, you might have real problems during/after the installation.

Anyone know how to merge downloaded SLES8 updates back onto the original CD images or into an FTP tree? It can't be as simple as replacing the older versions of the RPMs, can it? Thanks, Leland
