I have installed opensuse 11.3 rc3, but i can’t use any repository for 11.2(ex. packman), it’s normal because the rpms weren’t made for this beta version. But i guess these packages have big chances to run, so how can i trick the system to think that i have 11.2?
I tried with /etc/Suse-release but not working. Any ideas?

Just add the 11.2 repository if you can manually via YaST. I’ve added
these before to SLED, SLES, and other versions of OpenSuSE as needed,
though typically it is probably better to just get a single RPM and then
try to use OpenSUSE’re regular sources to find supporting RPMs so you are
as consistent as possible when it comes to what is installed on your system.
For example, download your single RPM (perhaps from
http://software.opensuse.org/search) and then use something like the
following to install just that one RPM while getting dependencies from
your regular repositories:
sudo zypper in /path/to/your/file.rpm
Good luck.

Hi
Use packman Factory which is sort of running in parallel with the
openSUSE factory/11.3 builds.
