Default How to configure YOU server

Ok i've got the YOU server setup but i want to change the default directory
from /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt to another location

Any ideas on how i can do this. I thought it was /etc/youservers file, there
is a dir line that points to this location but i changed it and it still
downloads them there.

Any ideas

One: Create a soft link from /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt to wherever you
want (as root). Suppose I want to save all the updates on a portable
USB drive that gets mounted at /media/usbdisk/ . Then:

#:> mv /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt_old
#:> ln -s /media/usbdisk /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt

The disk needs to be mounted read-write (which SuSE seems to default
to). Assuming that hotplugging the USB disk works, and it get
automagically mounted, just plug it in and update.
