He is right, but only in YOU mode. In YOU mode first all packages where downloaded, then all deltas applied, finally all packages got installed. This way you could go offline after download was finished (unless you used the nvidia, fonts etc. pseudo update). Normal installation and distro upgrade always downloaded and installed one package at a time. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
