Hi List;
I posted to the suse-linux-e list with no response. Maybe that was the wrong
list to start with?
Yesterday pulled down the remastered 10.1 DVD ISO and installed 10.1 on a
laptop I have to see if Its ready for me to upgrade. The install went fine
however I am somewhat confused by the new zen updater instead of my SuSE
Watcher.
So, I have a few questions:
- Does the zen updater pull only patches & fixes like the SuSE Watcher did ?
If not where do I now get these types of updates?
- What's the best way to update my system, does the zen updater do it all ? or
is there a better/easier to manage method?
- Both zen updater and Yast Sources only list my DVD drive. Where can I find a
list of 10.2 repositories for both the zen updater and yast ? Do they both
accept the same repos?
I guess the short question is - how do I keep my system up to date and where
can I find step by step (im kinda slow) documentation on how to configure my
new 10.1 box for updates?
Thanks in advance...
/Kevin

When you installed the system, did you test your network configuration
by, first, downloading the new release notes and, second, configure the
updater (can't remember the exact wording of this step...but you should
have noticed a bit of a wait while your machine setup a local update
repository for your system)? If you did those things, then Zen is good
to go for keeping your system up to date with critical patches and whatnot.
The rest of your system (i.e. latest versions of programs like amaroK
and such), though, still needs some configuration. My suggestion would
be to check out Guru's version of SMART package manager. Download the
program and the GUI rpms from his site and install them using Zen. (You
can, of course, install the version of SMART that came with the SUSE
DVD, but Guru's version has some repository information already
included, which the SUSE version does not).) Then open up SMART, which
is under Utilities->Configuration. In SMART, click on the icon with two
blue arrows on the left, which will update the repo package info, and
then click on the icon with the green arrow, which will update your
system. Sit back while it does its thing, and after it's done you'll be
good to go.
Hope this helps.
