Well, we created it, so we didn't have to look far...8-)

It should be downloadable from novell.com now that Mark has kindly
announced it. The Novell website content management system creates some
fairly ugly URLs (the trailing tildes are important), so search from
novell.com and you should get there w/o problems.

I'm pretty sure I fixed that in the SP2 docs. Drop the trailing A from
the command and it should work. 

Beyond that, make sure you understand which device is your root
filesystem, link NOVSTART 19F at some convenient address in the machine
you want to upgrade, ACCESS the NOVSTART 19F disk, and type SLES. After
that, you follow the upgrade instructions in the Novell docs. 

Also makes a nice rescue system. 8-)
