I answered some of my own questions...
online update onluy upgrades software within the current distro and typically
for security only... (unless you mirror whole ftp update site and run YOU
yourself...)
to go from 8.0 tp 8.1 you have to buy upgrade CD or wait until Suse posts the
8.1 files to FTP (some months after new version released) they are a commercail
venture.

Any other info or ideas or stuff i said wrong??
