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?
installation source. If the machine does not run X (and therefore
doesn't use the auto mounting of KDE or Gnome), you may need to manually
mount the CD, but you could use smart to load the updates, or rpm from
the command line. If you have X (and KDE for example), you can easily
add the CD as a removable installation source (for smart-gui). You
would probably have a harder time adding it as an installation source
for Yast/Zen without the repo data and digital signature. HTH.
