Hi List;
Yesterday pulled down the remastered 10.1 DVD ISO and installed 10.1 on a
laptop I have to see if Its ready for me to upgrade. The install went fine
however I am somewhat confused by the new zen updater instead of my SuSE
Watcher.
I have a few questions:
- Does the zen updater pull only patches & fixes like the SuSE Watcher did
? If not where do I now get these types of updates?
Well it depends on the particular repositories you configure.
I believe that the default config does just the security patches, but I can't
be absolutely sure of this.
I've added in the KDE repositories as well, and this way my KDE is kept
up with the bleeding edge (currently 3.5.5 Release 19.1).
- What's the best way to update my system, does the zen updater do it all ?
or is there a better/easier to manage method?
Well Zen is the SuSE way for the future. One would expect this to
eventually be as reliable as SuSE watcher, but more flexible and extensible.
There are other utilities, such as Fou4s, Smart (which isn't aptly named IMHO)
Apt, and a few I forget.
- Both zen updater and Yast Sources only list my DVD drive. Where can I
find a list of 10.2 repositories for both the zen updater and yast ? Do
they both accept the same repos?
look to http:www.opensuse.org
With a couple good repositories, you can get things quicker from the net than
you can from the DVD.
I guess the short question is - how do I keep my system up to date and
where can I find step by step (im kinda slow) documentation on how to
configure my new 10.1 box for updates?
Don't configure too many repositories. Things get terribly slow if you
do. I found that having one repository for Suse itself, and one for KDE
is all that I need.
