Default Preparing Patch CD for SuSE 9.0

I am running a SuSE Linux box that is not connected to a network.
Therefore, the YaST Online Updater (YOU) doesn't work. Looking at
Yast, it appears that it's possible to bring the updates to the
machine via a CD. I have downloaded the patch rpms (in most case,
some are full rpms) and put them on a CD. When I run the Patch CD
Update tool in YaST I get an error that it couldn't find a directory
path. Is there a document or other source of info that describes what
a patch CD needs to look like to work with YOU? In the absence of
this, how do I know the order of installation of the 60 or so rpms
that I downloaded?

Thanks for the help.
