Description Chad Groneman 2006-02-02 04:39:41 UTC 
People need to know what the updater thing (it doesn't tell you what it is - another bug) is on the taskbar, and how it's different than YOU, and why both are included.
Comment 1 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 18:25:15 UTC 
Karl, can you take care of this, please?
Comment 2 Karl Eichwalder 2006-02-06 07:37:07 UTC 
sure (btw, it is already mentioned in the manual):

 <sect1 id="sect.gnomest.zenupdate">
  <title>Obtaining Software Updates</title>
  
  <para>
   Use the ZENworks updater to install additional software and
   apply security updates.  Select the software packages
   to install from the list then click <guimenu>Update</guimenu>.
   For background information and configuration options, see <xref
    linkend="sec.yast.ncurses.you2"/>.
  </para>
 </sect1>

And the YaST chapter comes with this section:

  <sect2 id="sec.yast2.sysconfig.onupdate">
    <title>Updating Software Online</title>
...

submitted to /work (beta4?)
Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2006-02-08 14:30:25 UTC 
I failed to submit it :(
Comment 5 Karl Eichwalder 2006-02-08 15:12:16 UTC 
This time for real:

  <sect3 id="rn101.update">
   <title>Updating Software Packages Using Catalogs</title>

   <para>
To apply security updates and install additional software packages, use the
Web Updater from within the &yast; Control Center.  An alternative for updating
software is the ZENworks updater applet for KDE and GNOME. The ZENworks updater
helps monitor available patches.</para>

   <para>For more information about both features, see the &suselinux; Start-Up
Manual.</para>
