I was going to order the SuSE 9.2 package (DVDs+CDs) and was referred to several online sites that sold them at a discounted rate from the full retail price via "Digital River".
They appear to be the same package when there is a picture, but sometimes it says std upgrade (CD). I called one merchant to verify that it was the full upgrade product and they said it was not the full product, if I wanted the update, I only got 1 CD with the updated products on it. !?!? This was suppposedly after contacting their Novell distributor.
Now I know there are sites that offer unofficial CD/DVD duplicates for cheap and know those aren't the official update products, but this distributor got their upgrade product from Novell and claimed it was a CD only.
Have things gotten more complicated and Novell is offering subsets of the official upgrade package, or was this online reseller (one recommended on the SuSE/Novell site) misinformed?
The upgrade, as sold by SuSE, is exactly the same as the full package, except you get one book, instead of two. However, there are some vendors, selling copies of the disks, who have their own definitions. I'd be suspicious of that guy claiming the upgrade was only one CD.
