The last time I mirrored sles9 31-bit it was 2 to 3 GB , but that was around June 2005 I think, haven't done it since then, it's no longer my task.
You say wget works fine on zLinux SLES9, but not from YOU. From my experience with YOU it's a matter of navigating and filling in YAST's YOU screen fields appropriately; I may have some SLES9 YOU notes that detail that, I'll check tomorrow when I'm in the office. An alternative to using YAST and YOU is using the online_update command line that YOU calls: one of its modes runs wget to connect to patch site and download the patches; since you're successful with wget you'd probably be successful with online_update; I have notes on that too if you want them.

But, it works just dandy from zLinux with Suse9, once I got all the parms coded. I don't expect this try to work as I don't have sufficient disk space to mirror the entire site, so, the question is, Just how large is the directory for SUSE-SLES and SUSE-CORE? Give or take a GB. I assume that it may be 10-15% different depending on 31 bit or 64 bit, and also different based on Suse 8 and Suse 9. I just need a rough estimate for setting up a LVM to hold all this stuff. Now the thing I really don't understand is, if I can do it using wget in SLES 9 under z/VM, why can't YOU do it?
