We have released our FTP installation for both x86-64 (AMD64, EM64T)
and x86 - and also an 3.5 GB installable ISO image that supports both
x86-64 and x86.

Is it possible to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 without downloading CD? Just change
installation source in yast2 and do online update?

Or even better, any experiences with apt for suse
http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/? Is apt supported by suse or is it only gwdg.de
initiative? Any experience with update using apt?

Why apt? Imagine cluster with hundred of nodes and need for security update on all nodes. With apt I can do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade (or just apt-get install one_package). How can I do this with yast, without need of interactive work (clicking in menus)?
