Hi Any filesystem would do so long as it had most of the files. The reason it's more interesting is that it would be much quicker than zypper dup with only Internet connection speed to rely upon. A recent zypper dup -d and zypper dup took over 6 hours on a netbook that doesn't have a dvd drive. Booting from a like kde cd gives it only a few files. The rest have to be downloaded. That's ok if you have a fast connection and you have the knowledge of how to get e.g. broadcom wireless working. Saludos L x
Lynn,
For your situation I think zypper dup straight from the DVD is the solution. I don't think it is documented anywhere, but you can:
