I expect to move to 12.3 after the first wave of issues is resolved. I have /home on a separate partition and am considering either installing 12.3 into a new partition or overwriting my existing 12.2 install. The new partition will give a better fallback position if there are 12.3 problems but at the cost of reinstalling/reconfiguring everything. Any other pros/cons/options that I should be aware of?
TIA,
Dave
The 12.3 Live, DVD images doen’t fit on CD and DVD media .You might consider USB for installation.
You mean the live images for KDE and Gnome on release will be for USB, but a liveCD for XFCE will be available. Surely the DVD issue will be fixed…

The xfce image is a rescue system, not an installation system.

Yes, installing the new system in a separate root partition is a good
idea. You keep your old system in case of problems.
If you do not like the idea of reinstalling/reconfiguring everything,
then the option is doing a real system upgrade:

Offline upgrade

I can believe you, I didn’t recall the openSUSE News announcement correctly! 
Then the NET CD is the only CD based installer.
