Mark, with SLES10 to install the SP1 update, as you said, you have to setup a YUM repository **On another server** and then yes, you can upgrade using FTP/HTTP/NFS, etc.. However, with SLES9, to apply any of the SPs all you had to do was put the CD in any FTP server and point Yast to it. No extra server needed. That's all I am saying. I am not saying anything is wrong here but not the same from version to version. Also, as you said, SLES10-SP1 CDs are a full installation and not just an upgrade set of CDs. This is different from the SLES9 CDs. Thanks for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
