Tell package management to keep all packages, put them on a USB and copy on a friend's computer.
I've tried that two times in the past and zypper downloaded all packages again anyway. If there's an incantation that gets it to recognize new files in its cache directory then I haven't found it.
I have :-) The repositories need have the same alias name (not name), and they need have the "keep downloaded packages" tick activated (otherwise, the package gets deleted). Then you have to share the tree "/var/cache/zypp/packages/", or populate the tree on the second machine. If the packages are the exact same version, they are used. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
