How to download packages and dependacies without installing them


Hi,

How can I download some packages and dependancies in SLED 11.0 so that I can use them to update another similar system (whic is not connected to internet).Some thing like using yum in fedora with download only option.
Please help !!!!

In the "software search" facility on the opensuse website, you can select SLES/SLED11 repositories. There was a plan to add the --download-only option to zypper, but I sincerely don't know if it has been already implemented.

Heanet is about the biggest mirror over my way (Ireland) and in the ~mirrors/suse/pub/suse directory, they simply have

Please use ftp5.gwdg.de

There appear to be discontinued, repositories, source, & updates. HTH
