I've installed 10.2 from the DVD I made from the iso image. I've configured update sources, yet as ancient (in computer time, anyway) as 10.2 is, zypper always tells me there is nothing to do when I try it:
Restoring system sources... Parsing metadata for 20061219-202641... Parsing metadata for SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates... Parsing RPM database... Summary: Nothing to do.
I see it saying it is looking at metadata for updates, so it must think it knows where to find some. A service-list says:

Are there really no updates yet from the original DVD iso image?
Install smart package manager and you will find that there are lots of upgrades. I followed all the instructions when installing 10.2 just to see if the zen/rug/whatever-the-mess-is-called would work as promised but it has been sitting here with not a damn peep out of it so I installed smart (as I did in 10.1) and 10.2 has been upgrading almost on a daily basis.
