This would be fantastic! The "Install into Directory" feature of is
not present in OpenSuse, so
this would be a *VERY* welcome feature indeed.
Thanks,

Subject: [opensuse-factory] upgrade idea for the future

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 :-)
