[SLE] SPAM: Problems with an offline box and 10.1



We have an older computer without net access, on which we had installed
10.0 without too much trouble. Now, we have installed 10.1, and are
having no end of trouble. I'd like to try some updates, but I only know
how to do it with zen via my broadband net access.

What I'd like to do is download the updates onto my net-connected
machine, copy them onto CD's, and update the other computer that way
(one of the motives is to hopefully get a driver for the ancient
winmodem in that machine).

Is this possible, and how could I do it? Neither of us is expert enough
to handle this independently; we need zen, or smart, or ... Obviously,
whatever we use must already be present on the target machine, but we
can follow clear, detailed instructions for rpm updates, if that's
necessary and possible.
