    I am running a SuSE Linux box that is not connected to a network.
    Therefore, the YaST Online Updater (YOU) doesn't work. Looking at
    Yast, it appears that it's possible to bring the updates to the
    machine via a CD. I have downloaded the patch rpms (in most case,
    some are full rpms) and put them on a CD. When I run the Patch CD
    Update tool in YaST I get an error that it couldn't find a directory
    path. Is there a document or other source of info that describes what
    a patch CD needs to look like to work with YOU? In the absence of
    this, how do I know the order of installation of the 60 or so rpms
    that I downloaded?

    Thanks for the help.
