I just choose NEW STUFF.  Just like when I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3. 
When I was changing versions it suggested lots of stuff, everything that
changed between 6.2 and 6.3.  But now that 6.3 is installed I want it to
install the updates that are listed on the update page and are in
/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/* rather than having to do that from the
command line.  

For instance if I do rpm -q groff I get groff-1.11a-96, but rpm -qp
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/6.3/a1/groff.rpm gives back
groff-1.15-0, which is the updated version listed on the updates page. 
Yet when I go into YaST and tell it to update my system groff doesn't
get updated.
