I don't know if it is easy / hard, etc. but my primary use case for the liveCD is not supported at all currently.
If it could initiate distro updates to an already installed machine, I would not have to download the DVDs at all.
Every machine I have that has opensuse installed on it has Internet access. I've found zypper dup to be highly unreliable, at least going from OS 11.0 to OS 11.1.
Use the NET isos.
My ideal would be to download just the KDE liveCD and then use it plus the online repositories to upgrade my various computers.

I would suggest only adding additional language support. Other items can be loaded from a repo. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Well, sometimes the upgrade does fail and then it would be really helpful to have a proper environment instead of that crippled one of the NET ISO. Beside that, what's against installing/upgrading directly from a live-CD ? It's seems to me a natural procedure to try out something new on a live cd and then install it on the spot if I like it.

What we could do is starting some kind of network install out of the live CD, haven't thought about it. But it requires additional downloads, the live cd is live. There are no packages on it.

Sounds good. And would also work for wireless connections or not? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
