Auto update settings seem to turn on download only by default, I do
not see an option to turn off download only in the DTD or rummaging
around the net. I am using:

  <online_update>
    <autoget config:type="boolean">true</autoget>
    <enable_autoupdate config:type="boolean">true</enable_autoupdate>
    <skipPre config:type="boolean">true</skipPre>
    <update_time>
      <day config:type="integer">0</day>
      <hour config:type="integer">0</hour>
      <minute config:type="integer">0</minute>
      <random_time config:type="boolean">true</random_time>
      <timing>daily</timing>
    </update_time>
  </online_update>

FYI, it looks like random time is not a random time every time it runs,
but instead means that it will be set to run at the same time, albeit one that
was randomly determined at installation. This should be documented!

Is there a way to turn off the -g option that sets download only, not
only within autoyast, but also just with yast itself?
The /etc/sysconfig/online-update file does not set this, seems like
only the cronjob controls this? Yast clearly seems to be keeping this
information somewhere, I would have expected in /etc/sysconfig, but that
does not seem to be the case, unless I am just being stupid!

So the only way to fix it that I can see is
to either edit by hand or use a post-install script.....
