Things like that are never ever published through YOU, whether it's possible or not. But you most certainly don't need the CDs, it is quite possible to do a network install from ftp or nfs, when the files become available.
What you would do is add the directory on the ftp or nfs server as an installation source in yast, enable it, and disable the old installation source. Then select "System update" in yast, let it run, then after one single reboot you're good to go with the new version.
I'd really love to do this, and I've had a stab at it, but I must admit that I couldn't figure out what directory on the SuSE ftp server to use as the "New Installation Source". I'm still just using my cd's as my only installation souce (although I have YOU working fine for online updates). Would you be able to point me at a particular path? Or define what YaST's requirements are for such a path? Craig
