For normal (i.e. iron) machines it is rebooting from cd

It says that the live cd is not for upgrading. Only for installation 'as is'.

I thought the update/upgrade with zypper is now 'officially' supported:

http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade (but hidden in the SDB
namespace)


As I understand it:

UPGRADE is supported via:
dvd, zypper dup, yast2 wagon

INSTALL is supported via:
dvd, LiveCD, NetInstall CD

What was the question?

The question was, what the preferred method is for upgrading a virtual
machine, as rebooting from dvd and selection "upgrade" is not possible.



Sure it is. What VM are you using?? It is quite possible in VirtualBox.
