openSUSE supports for some time online live upgrade. However I see two issues here:minor -- I already have DVD downloaded and burnedmajor -- until now my eth0 card is not oficially supported, so on every upgrade it is disabled, and later I have to install drivers for it. I am afraid it might be the case with live upgrade as well -- i.e. upgrader would upgrade the driver for eth0, disabling it, and eventually breaking entire upgrade processSo I am wondering if I could treat DVD as repository and point it for zypper to perform live upgrade downloading packages from the disc? Is it possible? How to do it?I cannot run DVD and perform upgrade from there, because installer from the disc has hard time recognizing my LVM partitions, in short -- it does not recognize them. So I though why not try it from running system with fully working partitions.
How to perform off-line live upgrade?
