can be done using the YaST System Partitioner by changing the method
used in the fstab options settings.
3 Check the previously used repositories, if there are any. Enable all the
repositories you still want to use and from where you want to update third-
party software. Click the Toggle Status for every list item, if appropriate.
4 If you added repositories during the upgrade procedure as recommended
above, you now can activate those you are actually interested in.
5 In the Installation Settings dialog, adjust the settings according to your require-
ments. Normally, you can leave the default settings untouched. If you intend
to enhance your system, however, check the packages and patterns oered
in the Packages and Update Options submenus, or add support for additional
languages.
You also have the possibility to make backups of various system components.
Selecting backups slows down the upgrade process. Use this option if you do
not have a recent system backup.
6 Conrm the upgrade by clicking Start Update.
Once the basic upgrade installation is nished, YaST reboots the system. Finally,
YaST updates the remaining software, if any and displays the release notes, if
wanted.
16.1.4 Distribution Upgrade with zypper
With the zypper command line utility you can upgrade to the next version of the
distribution. Most importantly, you can initiate the system upgrade process from
within the running system.
This feature is attractive for advanced users who want to run remote upgrades or
upgrades on many similarly congured systems.
16.1.4.1 Before Starting the Upgrade with zypper
To avoid unexpected errors during the upgrade process using zypper, minimize risky

Upgrade from the previous version (e.g., 11.3) to this version (11.4)—do not skip
any minor version inbetween (this means, do not upgrade from 11.2 or earlier to
11.4 in one go). Make sure all available 11.3 online updates are successfully applied.
Close as many applications and unneeded services as possible and log out all regular
users.
Disable third party or openSUSE Build Server repositories before starting the upgrade,
or lower the priority of these repositories to make sure packages from the default
system repositories will get preference. Enable them again after the upgrade and
