Can someone please tell me how to update my SUSE 9.0 using yast through the command line. This is my firewall and I do not run a GUI. Someone mention YOU(YaST). I have used that with a GIU but not in this case. I have use Redhat/Fedora YUM/UP2DATE. thanks

AFAIK, you can still execute

Code:

yast

from the command line to execute the text-menu driven system on 9.0. This will allow you to add / remove software as well as run YOU, which is the YaST Online Update service SuSE use.

thanks. I just figure that out after I posted this. Is is ok to remove the *.hdr and the *.rpms (sources) after I have installed the updates and after the kernel has been upgraded how do I remove the old kernel and sources to conserve more disk space?
