Have you looked at:
YaST-->Installation into Directory
I've never used it myself. Not sure it fits what you are looking for.
Me neither. I haven't found a good explanation of what it is for, but I believe it does new installs, not upgrades.
Yes, it _installs_ a new system to the target directory. It can be used for installing another system in parallel to the current one (for using by 'chroot'). Or it can be used for installing a system into manually created virtual disk image (for Xen, Qemu, etc..). Doing simple upgrade could be possible with a small patch a believe. But the real upgrade is more complicated, there is some extra code in the real upgrade workflow (updating status of the old repositories, simple backup...). The result of upgrade via dirinstall module could be still slightly different than the real upgrade so it probably doesn't make sense to enhance it in that way... -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
