UPDATE (post-publish), 20100806: Though this post was originally tested entirely on 32-bit Opensuse 11.1, thanks to the prompt by Philip (see comments below), I have set up and tested this config on 64-bit Opensuse 11.3 with the 64-bit eDirectory 8.8sp5.

You see, I cannot live without iFolder. And I realize that now, more than ever. Aside: Here are two great links [...]

Read on… Thanks to Benjamin over at: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/bweber/entry/upgrading_opensuse_103/ …I adapted his Opensuse 10.3 to 11.0 in-place upgrade to be an 11.0 to 11.1 cheat-sheet-like thing.
