Apart from activating and registering your product, this module also adds the official
update catalog to your configuration. This catalog provides fixes for known bugs or
security issues which can be installed via an online update.
In addition to the update catalog, two more catalogs with official drivers for ATI and
NVidia graphics cards are added. SUSE Linux Enterprise ships with open source drivers
for these cards, but the official drivers, provided directly by the graphics cards manu-
facturers, offer additional functionality. In order to add these catalogs, you need to import
their public GnuPG keys—these keys are used to ensure the catalog is provided by the
owner of the catalog. Click Trust Key and then Import to add the catalog. Click Skip
package and then Abort to prevent this specific catalog from being added to your con-
figuration.
To keep your catalogs valid, select Regularly Synchronize with Customer Center. This
option checks your catalogs and adds newly available catalogs or removes obsolete
ones. It does not touch manually added catalogs.

3.11.5 Online Update

If the Novell Customer Center Configuration was successful, select whether to perform
a YaST online update. If there are any patched packages available on the servers,
download and install them now to fix known bugs or security issues. Directives on how
to perform an online update in the installed system are available at
Online Update"
(page 130)
IMPORTANT: Downloading Software Updates
The download of updates might take quite some time, depending on the
bandwidth of the Internet connection and the size of the update files. In case
the patch system itself is updated, the online update will restart and download
more patches after the restart. If the kernel was updated, the system will reboot
before completing the configuration.
