Thanks Michael. Yes, I had already read that. Aside from it saying:

"Valid for upgrading 10.3 to 11.0 & 11.0 to 11.1"

in big text at the top, it does not answer my three questions.

What exactly is a 'from 11.1'? Only one that has been installed and kept
up-to-date with 11.1 repositories? What if your 11.1 has the odd Factory
repository? Could this be an issue? I know it depends on which Factory
repos. But some clarification of what the 11.1 is assumed to be could
help.

In the example, the 'zypper dup' step gets and installs whatever is
needed. I have heard that there is a flag to make the download of all
complete before anything is installed. That way you do not have a
partially updated system without the ability to get some packages - for
whatever reason. No answer to that on this page. It is possible in this
context?

Finally, there was no mention of a 'dry run'. With any relatively new
technology, a 'dry run' is not a bad thing.
