Release Candidate 2 of SuSE Linux 10.1 was released early in the morning of April 22. This release doesn't bring too many new features, but everything is really starting to come together. This release we decided to test the upgrade option and tested the software management system fairly extensively including the non-oss add-on packages. Does it look like OpenSuSE is on-track?

For rc2 there were only deltas available for download from mirrors or through bittorrent. So, I decided on the delta isos. The applydelta went really smooth and rather quickly this time. For the non-oss add-on iso, I had to download the rc1 iso and the delta for rc2. As is becoming usual, that worked wonderfully for those as well.

I started the install as per usual, but this go-round I chose the Upgrade option. After it auto-detects most of your Linux installs, you choose which install to upgrade. The following screen was the summary screen where one can make changes. I doubled checked in the package listings, and indeed it appeared as though all my installed packages would be upgraded if an update was available. All told it was 1539 packages upgraded and 5 newly installed........
