I don't know if it is easy / hard, etc. but my primary use case for
the liveCD is not supported at all currently.
If it could initiate distro updates to an already installed machine, I
would not have to download the DVDs at all.
Every machine I have that has opensuse installed on it has Internet
access. I've found zypper dup to be highly unreliable, at least going
from OS 11.0 to OS 11.1.
My ideal would be to download just the KDE liveCD and then use it plus
the online repositories to upgrade my various computers.
Even more cool would be if a single KDE liveCD could be used to
upgrade both 32 and 64-bit installs.
