I don't follow that list closely, but I think you have to go back to when 10.1 was in beta that this problem first started to appear. I remember seeing it. That far back, eh? :-) . OK, thanks I'll go looking :-) .
Yeap. I'm guessing that the problem you see is similar to what it was then.
I think it was with beta 3, that the dvd had to be signed or something of the sort and the script broke. I didn't use it further, the final came out soon, I downloaded the dvd, so I didn't have use for the script again, and therefore I didn't follow much its development. I don't know if it was solved or not and how.
But I remember people saying, with the final, that they had problems when trying to update, and it boiled down to the distro not being registered, which they couldn't because the dvd was produced by the script from the CDs, which is what you see, right? :-)
I just went thru the archives and I can't readily see anything which solves my/the problem. I can create the DVD with no hassles and it installs 10.2 but at the point where it goes to the server to get the source (?)catalogue (which is what the "channel/s" is presumably now called) I get an error message stating "No product to register". Now, why the heck should there be a product to register!? This is openSUSE, for heaven's sake! BTW, I am reinstalling the whole sheebang from scratch right now (from discs) because I wanted to install an app. which I forgot to do during the installation process and--guess what?--going to YAST and selecting Software Management results in NOTHING! A flash on the screen of Getting something or other and then...zilch, zero, nothing, nought, we're back to the YAST menu. So I am reinstalling just to make sure that I am not imagining all this.
