10.0 - using yast2 to do only one update

[Felix Miata]

I want to install only one update, Acrobat 7.0.8. I downloaded only that
deltarpm, and trying to install it I get this error:

acroread-7.0.1_7.0.8-4_1.1.i586.delta.rpm install failed
rpm output:
error: acroread-7.0.1_7.0.8-4_1.1.i586.delta.rpm is a deltarpm, create a
real rpm from it first!

OK, so where is the howto on doing that? Is there a way to use YaST2 to
install only one patch from the GUI? I tried to deselect all and then
then add only Acrobat, but many remained selected.

Or go straight to the 16th result from that search:

http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs

I'm looking forward to the reinstatement of delta / patch
rpms - on my 1Mb/s ADSL updates are very slow with 10.1
compared to 10.0.

Found nothing relevant there about the subject distro.

First page of 20 results was about 1/3 non-English and thus useless to
me. I opened all 20 anyway. Of the 20, only one looked like a possible,
but actually was no help. I clicked on "next 20" and got 9 more, again
largely non-English, of which nothing was relevant. I gave up and
deleted my downloaded delta rpms and found full update rpms. Acroread is
now at 708.
