Thanks as always Mark, Do I have to order the SP2 media or does Novell ship it automatically?

If you want the zmd.db database file to get rebuilt, you can do a "rug restart --clean" command. It will be no bigger then necessary, but still in the tens of megabytes. > /var/lib/zypp I can't really recommend deleting stuff out of here. If you decide to do it anyway, don't delete any of the directory structure, just the files. I've run into problems (recently) where I got a little over-zealous and had to put back some directories manually. > We clone our Linux guests from a master guest which have already been > converted to SLES10-SP2.

You probably won't need the SP2-Online channel either. Note that if you decide you need to install packages that you haven't installed previously, you'll want to have the full SP2 media laying around somewhere as well.
