However when attempting to run the applydeltaiso command the following error occurs:

Any suggestions? I am inclined to report this as a bug, I do need to update the 10.3 isoimage (last time I had to reinstall, it took 8 hours just to apply the online update patches)

It is not a bug Randall. It is misunderstanding what is openSUSE-10.3-RC1_GM-DVD-i386.delta.iso . You are trying to apply change between openSUSE RC1 (release candidate) and final GM (gold master) to a final GM version. During development the release candidates come before gold master, and RC1-GM delta iso is used by people that have RC1 DVD iso to create GM DVD iso. It is not some kind of updates to GM. Apropos updating, rather create backup after updates, and burn it to a DVD. There was plenty of articles how to create backups on this mail list, and it shouldn't be problem to find them in mail list archives on http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse -- 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
