Figure 2.3: YaST Online Update
-a architecture Base architecture for which patches should be
fetched.

poses. The system remains unchanged.

2.3.3 Patch CD Update
Patches are installed from CD instead of from an FTP server. The advan-
tage lies in a much faster update with CD. Once the Patch CD is inserted,
all patches featured on the CD are scanned and displayed in the dialog.
The desired packages can then be selected for installation from the list of
patches. The module issues an error message if no patch CD is present. In-
sert the patch CD then restart the module.
