But in the update 1b) at the bottom, i.e the following command is used

Doesn't that repo upgrade to that current Factory distribution and not to the M8 snapshot (developement release)? http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_distribution

That is, shouldn't the repo instead be http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/ or optionally http://download.opensuse.org/factory-snapshot/repo/oss/ to get that latest 11.2 M8 developement release?

Yes, that would get you exactly to the milestone release and not to the state of factory - which is the same at the day of the release but moves forward until the next milestone comes out, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
