Thank you for you reply.
As I stated, I followed the blurb word for word, namely:
You followed to many words, as I'll explain in line below
quote
Introduction
Just like other distributions openSUSE Factory can be installed either by downloading and launching an installation image to start from scratch or by upgrading from a stable release. From Scratch
Download an image, burn it on a DVD or write it to a USB stick and launch the installation from there after a reboot.
*STOP HERE* You're done, you just installed Factory, congratulations
Upgrade
Are you upgrading from an openSUSE Release (eg. 13.1) to Factory? No? Then *Stop Reading*
There are two tasks needed in order to upgrade from any release to factory:
If you're still reading this, you really should know these instructions are only if you're upgrading from an openSUSE release (eg. 13.1) to Factory
Changing repositories to point to Factory Running zypper dup to upgrade all packages
Repositories
Start by removing the existing repos:
mkdir /etc/zypp/repos.d/old mv /etc/zypp/repos.d/*.repo /etc/zypp/repos.d/old
I have no clue what would happen if you do this on Factory, but it doesn't matter, because you shouldn't be doing this on factory, you should only be doing it if you're doing an upgrade, if you're installing Factory, you were done ages ago... etc.. etc do you get my point now?

Where in my OP did I say I tried to upgrade factory to factory? How could I possibly do such an upgrade if the bloody repos have not been created?! - as I stated, the list of repos is a BLANK, no, zilch, zero, nil repos shown.
What does "zypper lr -u" show? but seriously, you really really shouldn't have followed the *UPGRADE* Instructions when you started out this topic by saying you were *INSTALLING* a Factory snapshot! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
