The idea was talked about here last October:

It consists on having two sources during the install/upgrade, one the DVD,
another a remote site FTP/HTTP. The purpose is to be able to
install/upgrade those packages that are not in the main install media.
An installed system usually has packages that are not included on the DVD,
but were installed by Yast from ftp servers. When upgrading the system
from one version to the next, using the "small" dvd (compared with the
double layer comercial dvd) those packages that are not in the media are
simply removed. The idea is to get those missing packages from the
network. I had asked if that feature was intended, and Andreas Hanke told
me it was already there, by means of the add on media option. Andreas
Jaeger seemed to confirm it.
Now it is obvious that this does not work. It is impossible, as network
has not been initialised at that stage. :-/
I understand that Lukas Ocilka says that it has been solved in RC4, but I
see no RC4 DVD in the torrents, so it is untestable. Maybe Novell
employees have access to the RC4 DVD and can test the feature, but I
can't.
Even if the torrent were made available, there would be no time to
download, burn, and test it.
