[AuckLUG] SuSE 10.1 Œ

Hello

I am very new to the Linux platform and am trying to get to grips with 
SuSE 10.1 on an old Dell Optiplex, which is networked to a Windows 
machine.  Both share the same keyboard, mouse and monitor through a 
KVM switch.

At present my preferred desktop is KDE and I also use the KOffice 
suite.  Recently there has been updates to each and I want to upgrade.  
And this is where my ignorance "kicks in".

If I go to the KDE website and choose to upgrade, say KOffice, and 
select the SuSE 10.1 package, I am taken to a FTP site and presented 
with a directory named 10.1.  Clicking on this opens it and displays 
numerous files, which I presume are the upgrades.  My questions is:  
Do I have to select all of those files and download them to my 
computer?  Or is there some simpler way.

Any assistance would be very welcome.  But please not too technical as 
I'm very much a Linux novice.

David
