Making Updates without Internet Connection ?

Hello OpenSuse Community !

My name is Albert Kam …
I’m still using openSUSE 10.2, although the 11 is out :slight_smile: To be honest most of my colleagues are still using openSUSE 9.2 at my office.

Anyway, here’s the problem. In my office, we have quite limited internet connection. But i want all of the 10.2 got the latest updates, perhaps in form of DVD or CD. 1 person updates from the repo online, and all users can update from a removable media.

Is this possible … and how to achieve this ?
Are these still related to my issue or already obselete ?
SDB:How To Create a Patch CD - openSUSE
SDB:Creating A Customized Package Selection - openSUSE

If i’m not mistaken, there’s a YAST feature called Addon Creator or something … I tried searching in my YAST but found none.

Help ! :wink:

Regards,
Albert Kam
