The procedure for updating the system is similar to the new installation.

Initially, YaST examines the system, determines a suitable update strategy,

and presents the results in a suggestion dialog like that in Figure 2.6 on

the facing page. Click the individual items with the mouse to change any

details. Some items, such as ‘Language’ and ‘Keyboard Layout’, are cov-

ered in the section explaining the installation procedure (see Section 1.4 on

page 12). The following paragraphs only cover update-speciﬁc settings.
