But I have no idea how to do this. If I open "System update" from YaST, it want's to update my system to 10.0... which is what I want to update from!

Point an installation source to a 10.2 repository and then try the System Update...

Jdd, thanks for your tip also. I do not have any spare partitions where I could copy stuff (or keep 10.0 around) so I have to be able to boot from the net.

You do not need any spare partitions if you just change your installation sources to point to 10.2 repositories. See http://en.opensuse.org/Updating_SUSE_Linux You must do: 1. change *all* repositories to 10.2 sources, including extra ones like Packman or guru. 2. ensure that *all* packages which cannot be updated are removed (the dependency check will be useful here, but you might have to wade through a lot of choices, particularly if you do not adhere to point 1.)
