Good, Martin Is it possible to download the updates from a Windows machine? We want to update a server which has the stable 0.6 version 7th Oct 2009 to benefit from all the latest patches etc, and then create a master image to use with a few others.
For a while we don't have access to a direct Internet connection or a Linux machine - only expensive (USD 25c per MB) hotel wireless subscriber systems. I need to download any update rpms and transfer them to and run them manually on the XS.

Yes! You can download all the RPMs, put them in a usb stick and then take them to the target offline XS. If you want to download the exact RPMs, take a similar XS that is connected, and do yum [maybe --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing] update and look at what it proposes to update, then run yumdownloader [maybe --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing] packagename If you don't have yumdownloader, it's in the yum-utils package. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
