The Opensuse crew and the community put together a nice set of documented steps to do the in-place upgrade much more easily than what I originally experimented with here.\u00a0 So, here is a link to the full document with those convenient steps:\u00a0 http:\/\/wiki.opensuse.org\/SDB:System_upgrade<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

And here are those steps in summary\/short\/paraphrase (thanks everyone):<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, back to the original post from November 2009:<\/em><\/p>\n
First, see this post<\/a> for background…\u00a0 don’t worry, I’ll wait…\u00a0 Okay, you’re back?\u00a0 Good.\u00a0 Let’s continue…<\/p>\n
At the time of this writing, t’is the night before Opensuse 11.2 is released.\u00a0 And I just happened to find a mirror or two that were set up in advance, and decided to have some fun.\u00a0 I was hoping to easily duplicate my Opensuse 11 to 11.1 in-place upgrade cheat sheet<\/a>, but as it turned out, this time it is not so easy.<\/p>\n
So below, please see my working scratch-pad of my in-place upgrade of Opensuse 11.1 to 11.2 cheat sheet.\u00a0 Remember, the important point here is that we want to be able to do this without downing the server…\u00a0 oh, that’d be the easy way…\u00a0 *We* want to be able to do it without having to drive to the remote site where the server sits, get it?<\/p>\n
Caveats:\u00a0 At the time of this update (see below), I’ve only tested it on two 32-bit machines and two 64-bit machines…\u00a0 So, please realize, you’re doing this at your own risk…\u00a0 don’t do this to your machine without backing up, or imaging it in the first place!  Honestly, while figuring this out, I just kept throwing packages at it until it worked, so some of these might not be needed, but I know it worked for me…. And in the end, they all get updated anyway, right?<\/p>\n
So here we go….<\/p>\n
For both 32-bit and 64-bit:<\/p>\n

…And that’s all… just reboot and it should be fine.\u00a0 Oh, and don’t forget to add an update repository… For example:<\/p>\n
