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:

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.
This will not help with above mirror, who is just not up to date.
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.
