One possibility is get and run wget on a Win PC to mirror the Novell patch directories onto your local LAN or PC hard drive, then access the local LAN or hard drive as a samba share on Linux; point YOU to the mounted the samba share and apply the patches. Or use a u*ix/linux server to run wget to mirror the patch site and then share it to your Linux guests with NFS
