Rc1 is not a release. All the way from alphas via betas to rc is a 
continuous chain of changes.
They are all 11.0, just not released and under development, snapshots of 
factory at given times.

If you keep going with zypper dup you'll end up with the release.
Then you need to change the repos to point to 11.0, otherwise you'll 
have 11.1 factory again :)

I had saved a snapshot of the original installation of beta3 which I 
updated. So I got hundreds of packages (over 800 I think).
You obviously updated a system which already had almost everything 
updated from the factory repos?

I had waited for the RC1 and the frozen factory repos to do the update.
