Since the network card for external connection was messed up after the architecture change initially installed from the vanilla media usb key, I was lucky that I had fetched the 12.3 update folder to the local disk in advance, so that I was able to add that local hdd folder as repository for zypper and zypper up there and then after the next reboot the network card came back fine as before on the 32bit system and it is mostly all good now. So maybe future opensuse releases could somehow really do make use of additional repositories even when using vanilla read-only potentially outdated media to do offline install from but already the install process could take in such nice update packagas as kernel or udev systemd and init related stuff and all those things for basic operating the hardware and network and really the core of things. Thanks for the thread and explanations. Regards. On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 10:30 PM, Carlos E. R. <robin.listas@telefonica.net> wrote:

Can I also specify an additional local hdd folder where a local copy of the http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/ is saved to so that Don't.
