About:
Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE (fou4s) is a bash script that provides the functionality of YOU (YaST OnlineUpdate), but can also work in background and check for updates every night. It supports resumed downloads and proxies by using wget. GPG signatures are also checked.

Release focus: N/A

Changes:
This release is the first version with SuSE 10.1 support. It is a very early beta. Don't use it with older SuSE versions; it will probably be unable to update itself.

Fou4s doesn't modify the PATH - if the path of wget is not in the PATH, fou4s can't find it! Does it work on the shell, or only not in the cronjob?

[»] Great Tool
by Stonki - Jul 20th 2002 07:33:09

This tool is exactly what is missing in SuSE Linux and the Online Update feature. Instead of the heavyweight and debatable YAST2, this tool offers much better function.
A MUST for all SuSE Linux user !
