Re: [opensuse-autoinstall] Installing SLED on top of SLES

Frank,
I have been trying to wrap my head around why I would want to do this.
I have SLED10 with SLES10 DHCP server components (and a few more) with LTSP
4.2 as well as MANY of the educational software titles in the 10.1 repo
loaded on one box. Many of us have used 10.1 packages on SLES\D with out all
this work. I believe, last time I checked, the SLED update channel has been
maintaining all my desktop AND server packages on SLED, maybe not but, my
LTSP host is running fine for 3 years now. I do the updates like its just any
box.
If this was an edge server , which I would hope not , I would bet adding the
SLES 10 dvd, the SUSE 10.1 dvd, online repo and update channels as sources to
a SLED 10 box would do the same thing as all your work. To manage the updates
would simply be letting ZMD take care of the first round and your autorpm the
second. While providing enough security and most importantly stability to
host any internal app. If in the long run all you want from SUSE 10.1 is
applications, then starting with SLED and adding the DVD's and Repo's would
IMHO provide the longest term of security and broadest scope of applications
because altimitely your applications specifically any web based ones are
unsecure the moment there is a fix that 10.1's update channel doesn't
provide. In any senario, IMHO, the value of the channel is to keep the host
as stable and secure as possible beyond that we are all on the hook for third
party security, why add the question of host stability to the mix. IMHO.
