THanks. I think I'll try it just for the sake of pure curiousity. LOL, I'll also download 10.2 when the final stable release is done. On Sat Nov 25 0:59 , Darryl Gregorash sent:

Hey, with the upcoming arrival of OpenSuse 10.2, I was wondering, can anyone tell me how to upgrade from one suse to a higher version w/o having to use a CD/DVD? I am imagining that there must be some way to upgrade from OpenSuSe 10.1 itself or online or something. Let me know if anyone has any idea. Thanks

this is explained on the wiki jdd

Which you have to dig a lot in to find :-)

Since the OP doesn't appear to subscribe to opensuse (at least he doesn't post there), here's my reply from there (with caveat spelled properly this time):

http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux

Essentially you are just adding the new version's installation repository as an installation source, and updating everything for which a newer version is available (which of course will be everything you have installed already). If you have installed anything from an external repository, eg. from Packman or the opensuse "additional" repositories, you will also have to amend those entries to point to the new version's packages. Anything which cannot be upgraded must be removed.

Caveat emptor -- there is a strong warning at the top of the page that this procedure is not supported, and I suspect the overwhelming majority of the list's members would strongly recommend against it.
