It is possible with a simple chroot(1). I run SLED10-SP1 daily, but have a separated partition with openSUSE-Factory, for development purposes. Assuming that the openSUSE installation is on /dev/sda2, you can use the following script (you'll probably have to tweak it to fit your environment): #!/bin/bash if ! grep -q /dev/sda2 /proc/mounts; then mount /dev/sda2 /opensuse fi for part in proc sys dev; do if ! grep -q /opensuse/$part /proc/mounts; then mount --bind /$part /opensuse/$part fi done cp -f /etc/resolv.conf /opensuse/etc/resolv.conf chroot /opensuse Here I assume I would insert the update procedure. umount /opensuse/proc umount /opensuse/sys umount /opensuse/dev umount /opensuse I still have not tested this procedure on my factory partition, but I used it as part of the recovery procedure of an old system, sucessfully, so I must say thank you :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yeah, there are no issues upgrading an existing install if you already had the repos registered. The issue is when you want do a new install. Regards Sid.
