YaST OFFLINE Update?


Hello, all. This morning I brought my laptop in to work to re-install SUSE 9.3 Pro (long story, but it boils down to running setup with a bad Disk 4). Anyway, I can't connect to the network here for security reasons. I'm feeling a little impatient, for some reason, and want to try to up date the new install now instead of waiting until I get home.

So I'm wondering if there's a way to download updates from a separate computer and copy them to the laptop to do what would amount to an Offline Update using YOU? What do you guys think?

Mainly, I'm thinking I should just wait until I get home. But I'd mainly like to just get the nVidia driver updated.

Thanks in advance.

I think what you mean is a patch CD:

Thanks, abisko00 - I'll look into this more.

I've been very pleased with the look of 9.3 so far, but I'm having troubles with the nVidia driver for it. I've never had a problem with the driver until now, and it's very discouraging. I might just go back to 9.2 if I can't figure this out.
