Yes, understandable. However, I would happily test it instead of having to wait for every beta to install - which means at least 2 hours "downtime" on my full-blown system... (yes, maybe I should uninstall some stuff.) > Until now, we didn't get sufficient customer request for this to > justify the effort. Wrong answer ;-) It happened more than once that someone tried to update his system with "YaST2 System Update" which resulted in wrong YOU-sources (from the old system), so everybody was warned not to use this YaST module. IIRC, there's even a SDB article about it which states that you should never upgrade a running system, but always boot the install CD to upgrade the system. And now you are wondering that this is rarely used and/or requested...
