Hi,
An idea for the future, how to install a full system upgrade:
Based on existing system in root partition A, do a full upgrade installing in root partition B instead, while system in partition A is still running.
It is almost a new install, except that the configuration is taken from the running system, and should have the classic *rpmnew etc files to review.
Does it makes sense? Sounds feasible?
Some people in fact install new versions on a different partition keeping the previous one intact. In case of problems they can revert to the old system instantly, and both are available for study. The method I propose could make upgrade less scary :-)

Have you looked at: YaST-->Installation into Directory I've never used it myself.
