IMHO, download CD or DVD, burn on disk, reboot computer, follow the prompts. To make sure that computer will boot fine you can use LiveCD. If you want to try in advance, the latest is: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/projects/FactoryLiveCDs and KDE LiveCD works fine here.
Using the CD/DVD method you describe, would I need to downgrade anything first, or add additional repositories for the "upgrade"?
Of, just use the defaults on the installer DVD?

The LiveCD offers only installation, which is not good if you want to update existing system, but if you have, or you can create, empty space on hard disk you can try installation. For upgrade you should use normal installation CD or DVD, not LiveCD. I recommended LiveCD only to check hardware compatibility as that is the only part of installation, so far I know, that can make trouble. Keep in mind that this is still RC1 version. There will be, for sure, more changes in next 20 days, so test with current LiveCD in link below is not final. When you check and something doesn't work than you can come and ask particular questions. BTW, the latest LiveCD is now in normal repositories: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/opensuse/distribution/11.0-RC1/iso/cd The previous link still has LiveCD, but it is now obsoleted by openSUSE-11.0-RC1-KDE4-LiveCD-i386.iso -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
