I've installed 10.2 from the DVD I made from the iso image.
I've configured update sources, yet as ancient (in computer
time, anyway) as 10.2 is, zypper always tells me there is
nothing to do when I try it:
Restoring system sources...
Parsing metadata for 20061219-202641...
Parsing metadata for SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates...
Parsing RPM database...
Summary:
Nothing to do.
I see it saying it is looking at metadata for updates, so
it must think it knows where to find some. A service-list
says:
# | Enabled | Refresh | Type | Name | URI

1 | Yes | Yes | YaST | 20061219-202641 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/non-oss/
2 | Yes | Yes | YUM | SUSE-Linux-10.2-Updates | http://ftp.ale.org/pub/suse/update/10.2
3 | No | Yes | YaST | 20061213-191726 | ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/
Are there really no updates yet from the original DVD iso image?
Install smart package manager and you will find that there are lots of
upgrades.
I followed all the instructions when installing 10.2 just to see if the
zen/rug/whatever-the-mess-is-called would work as promised but it has
been sitting here with not a damn peep out of it so I installed smart
(as I did in 10.1) and 10.2 has been upgrading almost on a daily basis.
Cheers.
