I hope somebody else can provide a link because I have never looked into YaST
in depth. I just happen to know it as a user on two workstations. Every now
and then the user can run a system update, which is rather autonomous. It
can also be made automatic, which is a valuable feature if you run a server
and want it to be left untouched for years. I can't remember which option
needs to be enabled, but I believe you need to have YOU (YaST Online Update)
active (in the panel) and set it to install updates without prompting the
user.
You only need to select a repository location (FTP), from which to pull the
updates.
Sorry I couldn't help further...
