When I issue:
applydeltaiso openSUSE-11.1-Beta2-DVD-i386-iso/openSUSE-11.1-Beta2-DVD-i386.iso openSUSE-11.1-Beta2_Beta3-DVD-i386-delta/openSUSE-11.1-Beta2_Beta3-DVD-i386.delta.iso openSUSE-11.1-Beta3-DVD-i386-iso/openSUSE-11.1-Beta3-DVD-i386.iso
I get:
…

Plenty of disk space, torrent claims everything matches, the sha1sums are:

Forgot to mention that the host is an openSUSE 11.0 that is fully up to date.
I think you will have to get the applydelta for the version you are working with like 11.1beta1 to 11.1beta2; don’t think 11.0 will work.
It looks like the version for factory is actually older than the one for opensuse 11.0.
Can anybody confirm or deny the same experience? The applydeltaiso worked for the other deltas I downloaded, just not the one for i386.
See this bug:

To summarize: a bad .iso AND .torrent (and associated data) were pushed out. Please download again directly from
Index of /distribution/11.1-Beta3/delta
or any other mirror provided the file size is around 488MB. The older (wrong) version is much smaller, about 231MB.
Not done this myself… but would it not be more reliable to add the factory repo ( http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss ) as installation source and then do a ‘zypper dup’ ? At least I think thats what most dev’s do to stay with the factory release?
