How can I stop automatic updates on SUSE 10.3
 

Every time suse starts it looks for updates, this slows down the start up considerably. I there a way that I can disable automatic updates and to do updates manualy when I choose. Thanks.

Go into YAST, and turn off automatic updates???

It is strange that slow down the starts up.
Normally opensuse is looking fore the updates when the system is running.
So browsing the net slows down.
Anyhow yast>software> is a applet for the updates change it in the way you like it

Auto Updates
 

Sorry I did not make my meaning clear,when the system first starts running after boot, it searches for updates, this takes some while & everything else slows almost to a halt until it is finished. I have been into Yast & auto updates are already disabled & I can't find any other way to stop them. ???

If you click on the applet it self there is also a possibility to switch
off the auto update.
You have to do this for every user

Online Update
 

Thanks ronlau9, doing that only gives an option to remove online update, I did that and of course I can not do a manual update now. This is fine for me as it only takes a minute to reinstall it "yast2-online-update" so I can do a update perhaps once a month. Thanks again Regards.

Hi, I think that a sure way is to unclick the "Enabled" box in all repositories, other than your CD/DVD. If it has nowhere to look, it will not, will it? Also, you can then very quickly restore the updates by again "enabling" the repositories.
HTH.
