For the record: I did two upgrade attempts.
The first time I edited the list of disabled repos (the procedure disabled all
existing 11.2 repos). I tried editing and activating the packman, oss, and
non-oss repos, and proceeded to upgrade. The problem is that the upgrade then
attempted to download thousands of packages from internet that were already
available in the DVD! It would have taken days with my internet connection.
So I had to abort the upgrade, dd in the backup copy of the partition, and
restart the procedure, this time only editing packman repo.
Notice that it is very awkward to activate external repos during the upgrade.
The DVD disables all existing repos, while allowing one to edit and reactivate
them. It should offer the addition of the standard oss, non-oss repos for the
system to be, giving priority to the DVD.
Network discovery is too awkward. Wireless was discovered, but it attempted
DHCP before asking for the wifi password. That can not ever work. I had to
connect the ethernet cable, which worked instantly.
