Open up YaST and go to Change Source of Installation. Add an ftp one, such as this: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2/yast-source [...]
When I attempt this I get an error:

The answer seems to be "keep trying" -- if the ftp server you are trying to reach is "full", you're session will be denied [yast checks the target for some form of disk ID, which means it tries to log on right then and there] If yast cannot establish a session, it reports no file found -- keep trying [or try a less busy server/mirror] until it goes through. When performing the update, you may get the same thing when you start: a pop-up box telling you to insert the CD into the FTP source... keep retrying until you "get" a session [after which you can safely walk away until it's done] ALSO, someone mentioned this technique blew away their gnome packages -- REMEMBER to UNCHECK the box marked "delete outdated or unmaintained packages", and if truly paranoid, click the "details" button to be sure no non-SuSE packages are slated for withdrawal... - -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://osnut.homelinux.net/TomEmerson.asc iD8DBQE+3Qv0V/YHUqq2SwsRArs7AJwNOvaZKPXyfmF/XNgqBF5wVr6lAwCfXIWt mLbaitNH3hGCyEQr6QNJqtI= =TjR4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
