I already asked this on our local list, but no advance yet. I have a dual oS 12.1 (64 bit, KDE 4.9.5)/ Win7 (32 bit) system. I wanted to upgrade to oS 12.2.
Since this is what you want why not configure zypper with openSUSE 12.2 repositories and then use zypper dup .
Or you copy the install kernel and initrd from 12.2 into /boot/ of your system and adjust your boot loader configuration to boot the 12.2 install system.
Most of my installations are started this way, though instead of putting installation kernel and initrd in /boot I put them in /boot/suse<VERSION>.
This approach is documented in the wiki at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Remote_installation
Unfortunately this isn't very obvious. Please consider to enhance the available documenattion if there isn't a better one available.
I believe the better doc for what you describe is:
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Network_installation#Media_free_network_installat...
Yes! And there even the wget --output-document stuff got merged. There still 12.1 is referenced. But users going this way will be able to transfer the approach to 12.2 or even better adjust the wiki page.
The prep and startup method described there also work without using network during installation by using a previously downloaded installation .iso as the source instead of the network, by following the scheme at http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc under install=hd.
Hm, why don't you add a reference to this page at the 'See also' section of the page? Cheers, Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team + SUSE Labs SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
