For openSUSE 11.0, can the openSUSE 11.1 DVD be added as a repo source ?
(the version DVD , e.g. the oS 11.1 DVD is enabled as a repo in oS 11.1)
So, that those updates (e.g. for GNOME, KDE 3.5, etc) that are
available in the openSUSE 11.1 DVD can be applied to openSUSE 11 faster
& without downloading from online repositories (esp useful for those
with Internet bandwidth limitations).

Sorry, but are you tried it?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it seems that the openSUSE 11.1 DVD will
not work to upgrade openSUSE 11. Will need to add the repo’s manually.
There are separate packages/repo’s for oS 11 & oS 11.1.

I’ve tried to add the 11.0 DVD to my Repo manager. It has started to
read the files from it without any problem - but I’m canceled it - so, I
don’t know that after reading the repo files is it works or not.
oS 11 DVD will work with oS 11 & oS 11. DVD will work with oS 11.1 (as a
DVD reposotory). So it is version-specific. Hence, can’t use oS 11.1 as
a DVD repo for oS 11.0 (pkgs are different).
