For those of you who don't want to do a fresh installation, just use y2pmsh to upgrade ot the latests beta. It (still) uses the (old) YaST2 package manager backend and therefore is very stable and useable for an upgrade. (I'v used it successfully for the last 3 betas ;)) Here is a short guide on "how to upgrade with y2pmsh": 1.) Get the latests y2pmsh and yast2-packagemanager from Factory and install them using "rpm -Uvh y2pmsh*.rpm yast2-packagemanager*". Run SuSEconfig.
I've learned that yast2-packagemanager is not needed - only y2pmsh.
2.) Fire of y2pmsh by calling "y2pmsh". # y2pmsh Welcome to the YaST2 Package Manager!

This is e.g. the case if packages have been dropped. Just remove those packages with # rpm -e <packagename> # reboot
I did it this way.
